Interview with Michael Vartan on the set of "Dead Man's Curve"

"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."
