"My name is Michael Vartan...and my character in the film, his name
is Chris. Chris Mason. He's a college student, trying to get into Harvard
Business School, wants to get into Harvard Business School so bad he
ends up killing someone to do so. It's basically the story of these three
roommates, and they're all plotting to kill each other to get this
automatic 4.0, which in some colleges you get if your roommate
commits suicide. They don't expect you to be able to study after
such emotional trauma."

 

(You're not generally cast in college roles, are you?)

 

"This is actually the first role I've done where I do play a college student.
It's pretty funny because I dropped out of high school as a kid, when I was
sixteen. So far I've played a lawyer, now I'm playing a guy who's trying
to get into Harvard, so this is a real stretch for me."
