Frequently Asked Questions:

In the movie version of this podcast, who would play you?

Sean: Chiwetel Ejiofor, for sure! He’s a great actor, he kind of sort of, slightly if you squint your eyes looks like me. And he’s willing to do nudity.

Amita: I’d have the stunning Rosario Dawson play me. (I’m constantly mistaken for being Hispanic, so I’m running with it. Sorry Mindy Kaling/Parminder Nagra/Priyanka Chopra and Archie Punjabi!)

Yes, that’s me and Rosario- she’s so sweet and Sean took this photo of us.

If you could see one deceased artist one last time in concert, who would it be?

Amita: Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse…now I’m depressed…

Sean: Prince, Michael Jackson, Donny Hathaway, David Bowie…all on the same stage together.

Favorite Grey’s Anatomy quote of all time?

Sean: You’re my person. (Cristina Yang). Watching Grey’s is one of the few times I allow myself to drop my cynical veneer.

Amita: Pick me. Choose me. Love me! (Meredith Grey)
