We are so excited to have been able to catch up with Scott Vickaryous, who most of you know as the super-stud Max Ballard from Breaker High. Scott gives us the inside scoop on his life, but be warned, his answers might just crush some of your teeny-bopper dreams.

TNTS: All right, Scott, we want to know about you. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself, your past and where you are now? Do you have pets, siblings, etc.?

Scott: I’m living in Vancouver right now and grew up around Western Canada as a kid, but mainly Alberta, in a little town called Sherwood Park. I have an older sister with two great nephews and a third on the way!! I also have a deaf pitbull named Libby.

TNTS: Many of us remember you from Breaker High and were insanely jealous that your character got to go to high school on a boat. What was being on set of Breaker High really like? And where was it filmed?

Scott: Breaker High…we were on a boat for one day shooting stock footage while they cleaned the cruise ship as it was in the Vancouver port. Otherwise we filmed in a warehouse in Burnaby…LOL! Being on set was a lot of fun for all the cast as it was basically the first big thing any of us had done, so we got a real chance to bond as friends who were experiencing something together for the first time.

TNTS: Do you get seasick?

Scott: Haha! No, I don’t get seasick as I’m originally from Vancouver Island and spent a lot of time on the ocean as a kid.

TNTS: Have you stayed in touch with any of your castmates from Breaker High?

Scott: We try to stay in touch as much as we can, but sometimes life makes that difficult as we are all spread out all over the place now.

TNTS: Did you cry when you saw The Notebook?

Scott: I totally cried!!! When I saw how much better Ryan’s beard was than mine it put me into a deep deep depression!!

TNTS: Who do you hope to work with in the future?

Scott: There’s many actors I would hope to work with, but unfortunately there are never any guarantees. But if I had to choose… I’d like to work with a friend of mine and fellow Canadian, Brendan Fletcher.

TNTS: Favourite co-star of all time?

Scott: My favorite co-star was Annie Hathaway on Get Real. We worked a lot together and she was just a sweetheart and incredibly talented.

TNTS: We know that you play men’s hockey with one of our favourite TNTS friends, Jared Keeso. What position do you play in hockey?

Scott: I normally play the wing in hockey but really will play wherever…actually, when Jared is on the ice I seem to play defence alot as I always have to cover for him. (He thinks he’s a forward sometimes)!!! I also try to annoy as many people on the ice as possible!

TNTS: What are the best perks about playing Max that have carried into your adult life?

Scott: The best perks about playing Max are the memories I had from that time. I know that may sound cliched but it’s true.

TNTS: If you could live anywhere else in the world where would it be?

Scott: There are three cities I would love to live in…London, NYC and Montreal.

TNTS: Favourite place to shop?

Scott: My favorite place to shop is Trader Joes…Lots of good cheap wine!!

TNTS: Tell us what you think are the Bee’s Knees.

Scott: The Bee’s Knees in LA would be Paquito Mas, in Vancouver Section 3, in Calgary my Mom’s!

TNTS: OK! From here we’re going to go James Lipton style on you. Ready…go:
