  1. What nationality are you?

    That is the most frequently asked question, I swear to god I get asked that every single day. Not Kidding! Ok are you ready? I'm Irish, Lithuanian and Polish!

  2. I was just curious if you had any upcoming film appearances coming up.

  3. What kind of portfolio shots do you use when you go for an audition?

    The shots I use when I go audition for movies are b/w 8x10's, one is a body shot with jeans and a tank top and the other two are head shots, which I use more of now – because I don't want to be known for my body….

  4. What am I most proud of?

    I'm most proud of the fact that I got sober over 10 years ago and have remained so. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and also the most worthwhile. It's true what they say..if it was easy..everyone would be doing it. That goes for everything in life.

  5. Your best experience ever?

    My best experience, that's hard because there has been a couple… reading for Ivan Reitman and Paul Verhoeven...two huge directors. Also getting my first lead in a movie...ok, so it was Midnight Tease, but it was exciting at the time!

  6. If you could be anything other than an actress, what would you be?

    Well, this answer has changed for me. I'm quite sure that I'm going to be a famous photographer one day..you know, my own coffee table book and all..! I REALLY love taking pictures of people. Kind of like "Maxim", "Details" type pics. Also, I'd love to photograph celebrities.

  7. If you could be anything other than an actress, what would you be and why?

    If I had to be anything other than an actress, which I hope it doesn't come to that. I would want to be a photo editor….for Playboy. I think I have a really good eye and I think it would be great job just looking at beautiful women all day. Who wouldn't want that job.

  8. What is your most prized possesion?

    My most prized possessions would be my two persian cats, my basset hound and my Pekinese. They are my babies and I love them soooo much. They're so cute.

  9. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be and why?

    If I could live anywhere else in the world it would be Hawaii. Which I did for about a year a while ago. It's really beautiful and laid back . I would like to someday raise children there. Everybody is so nice and friendly and have the island spirit. Aloha

I love answering back the questions. When I have time…being that I'm so busy. But please keep writing in your questions and comments, because I totally get a kick out of it. Besides that…going to movies, hanging out with my pets, working out and hanging out with my friends.

    I like a guy who is really self assured and confidant, and someone who is not intimidated at all by my career and the type of work I do. Someone with a really good sense of humor….they need to be able to deal with our sarcastic sense of humor. (They can't be too sensitive)

  17. How many tattoos and piercings do yo have?

    I have 4 tattoos. A bow on the back of my neck (baby pink), a bow on my tail bone (pink), a bow on my left inner wrist(pink), and the japanese sign for feline on my right ankle (also pink!)

    No, I've never been a Playmate and I've never been asked to be a Playmate.

  26. Would you want to be a Playboy Playmate if they asked you to be one?

    Yeah I would, I'm not going to lie! I'm not going to say I wouldn't…but they do own your butt for like a year and you have to be committed to them. Since I'm doing a lot of other things…it probably wouldn't be in my best interest. Maybe a couple of years ago it would have been great…but now I really don't think it's going to happen….because I've been too exposed in the movie industry and other modeling stuff. Also because they like to have the girl next door kind of playmates.

  27. How long have you been a photographer? And how did you learn?

    I've been taking pictures now for about a year and learned through watching other photographers and really paying attention. I think the BEST way to learn though is just to do it! Trial and error..no better teacher!

  28. What is your favorite food?

    Hmm...my tastes change often. I'd have to say thin crust pizza with pepperoni, jalapenos, pineapple and mushroom. Also, Thai Lettuce Wraps from Cheesecake Factory, and sweets! I LOVE sweets! Cake, cookies, pies, cheesecake..YUM!

  29. Do you know when the next Books of Lingerie is coming out?

    A basset hound named Mrs. C., a Pekinese named Isabelle (Izzy), two persian cats, one named B and the other named Gizmo…they're all so cute.

  33. Do you enjoy modeling nude?

    I do actually…I know that's not the politically answer…but I do…I have absolutely no hang-ups about modeling nude. I think if the pictures are really tasteful and classy I think it's a beautiful thing.

    I love it…what else can I say!

  36. In the movie "I Like To Play Games" is there a little part of that character in you?

    How do I answer that one without giving out the secrets to my sex life…you have to change it up. There was definitely a part of me in my younger days similar to Suzanne in "I Like to Play Games". I don't believe I'm like that anymore….I'm very giving now to my partner.

    I work out 4 to 5 times a week. Major cardio…stairmaster is my favorite thing.

  39. Do you still act under the name of Cassandra Leigh?

    No…

  40. What are some of your best / worse pick-up lines?

    Don't ever ask anybody – "Are you an Actress? Are you a Model?" NO – that is not a good pick up line! Don't tell girls what kind of car you drive – if you drive a nice car. (we don't want to hear that) It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, it doesn't matter what you do, it doesn't matter if your parents are famous – it just doesn't matter. What matters if you are a nice person and you get along with the other person.

  41. In the movies are the love scenes real?

    No – OK … The love scenes are not real! It's simulated!

  42. What's it like making a love scene for a movie?

    It's really weird, because you have all these people standing around (the director, photographer, sound guy, wardrobe people, make-up people). They do the scenes in cuts, so you never do the whole scene at once. They'll cut it to get the girls close up, the guys close-up, whatever the case may be! It's really hard and it's definitely not sexy.

  43. What are some the places you would like to visit one day?

    I have to go to Tahiti – it's just looks like the most romantic place. I also want to go to Spain and Australia. The only problem is…I hate flying. I'm terrified of flying.

  44. Why did you decide to become an actress?

    I've always enjoyed acting, every since grammar school. Somewhere along the line I got off the beaten path and I had to clean up my life and decide that I actually wanted to do something else with my life besides being a waitress. That was the only choice I had.

  45. Which came first the modeling or the acting?

    They were both basically the same time…but the modeling came a little before the acting.

  46. What's a typical day in the life of Lisa?

    Try and get up b4 10am. Check email(I said CHECK..not answer!! Hahahahahahahahah), walk the dogs, give the kitties treats, plug in my phone cause I sleep with it unplugged (my phone rings WAY too much!),check my messages. Get dressed..apply liberal amounts of sunscreen to my face. ( I NEVER tan my face) I'm usually at one photo lab or another picking up film, or planning shoots. Work on the site, workout (about 4 times per week). Oh my gosh..I forgot the most important step of the morning..STARBUCKS! Triple iced Grande vanilla nonfat cap! Going to start going on auditions again..so now I'll be totally swamped!

  47. Why did you decide to act?

    I've always been a ham...I used to put on plays for my family all the time when I was little. (I'm sure they were just thrilled! hahahahah) Then I started doing plays in grammar school and loved it...that moved on to highschool. I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist in one way or another and I think it just came naturally. Now my sparkling sense of humor I definitely get from my dad's side. They are some funny MF's! I just need to be creative..and now the photography is yet another outlet for that. I hope I can do both! I really want to do comedy.
