Sports talk with two 'Clerks': Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, sports fans and movie slackers
Sporting News, The, July 21, 2006 by Brandon W. Mudd
SN: A memorable scene from Clerks is the rooftop hockey scene. Are you hockey fans?
O'HALLORAN: I'm a New York Rangers fan. I know heartache.
SN: What are your thoughts on the Stanley Cup now residing in NASCAR country?
O'HALLORAN: It's kind of weird hearing hockey terminology being spoken in a Southern accent. And they have, I think, Ric Flair as their mascot, and every time they get a goal you hear, "Wooooooo!" It's just so bizarre.
SN: What's your most memorable sports moment?
ANDERSON: I am a huge Broncos fan--I bleed orange--so it's the Broncos' Super Bowl. Preferably John Elway's MVP one. I have a dog named Elway.

SN: Brian, what was it like making out with Jennifer Schwalbach (Clerks director Kevin Smith's wife)?
O'HALLORAN: Jennifer plays my fiancee in the movie. It's not every day that someone asks you to make out with their wife while they're watching it and filming it. I didn't want to have any kind of mistake because the next thing you know, I'm fired and Seth Green is in my place.
SN: The first Clerks was filled with Star Wars references. Your thoughts on Episode III?
ANDERSON: You would almost think I directed it, I talk about Episode III so much. I'm a fan. I'm not going to sit here and bash on the new Star Wars.
O'HALLORAN: It was a great animated film.
SN: What do you tell fans who think Kevin sold out by making a sequel?
O'HALLORAN: Donkey show. If they are fans of Kevin's, they'll want to see him do a donkey show.
