Personal Information Sex and Romance Family Matters Roles Ask Someone Else State Secrets No Comment Chris has at times refused or neglected to answer a fan's question or questions. The reason he's given for not answering some questions is that, in his opinion, "some things die from over-analysis" (Aug 15 2000). Here is a list of some of the questions that got a pass at least once. Some questions were initially ignored, then answered later. Check the relevant section of the FAQs to see if the answer you seek is there. If it is not, and you choose to ask one of these again, you may well find that your question will go unanswered. You should also note that Chris may have answered some of these questions outside of Ask Chris. Take the time to peruse the site to see if Chris was more forthcoming to reporters than he's been to fans when it comes to certain things. – Editor PERSONAL INFORMATION Chris refused to tell how he eats his ice cream cone (June 19 2000) and whether he prefers Coke or Pepsi (Aug 13 2000). He's not telling whether he's ever been on Ecstasy (Oct 19 2000), the last time he misbehaved (Aug 9 2000), or the worst answer he's ever given to a question (June 22 2003). The kind of fabric softener he uses "iz secret" (Feb 7 2000). Christopher declines to share what physical habit he has that gives it away when he's having a moment of uncertainty (Oct 27 2004), what he fears most in real life, and why (Nov 16 2004) and whether he considers himself an optimist or pessimist (Oct 3 2000). He also refuses to say whether he thinks people are born bad (Dec 6 2001). He's not saying whether he considers himself inherently talented (Feb 4 2001) or whether he would prefer to be an "actor's actor" and make great movies, or make $20 million per film, making horrible movies (Sept 12 2002). He has refused to disclose whether he stays in character between takes (Apr 26 2005). A fan asked, "When you are older and you are reflecting back on your life, what is a positive thing that you would like to remember, and/or be remembered for?" Chris replied, "Let me think on that" (Dec 6 2001). SEX AND ROMANCE Chris isn't telling us anything about his "first time" (Dec 8 1999), how old he was when it happened (Mar 29 2002), or his most embarrassing moment in bed (Mar 14 2002). He's also not sharing the most sensual things he's ever experienced (Dec 8 1999) or discussing why, in one fan's opinion, it's "so hot when straight guys kiss" (Dec 8 1999). Chris refused to disclose the most romantic thing a woman could ever do for him (Jan 24 2005), whether he has a favourite love story or romantic movie (Mar 3 2001), or whether he's a romantic (Jan 14 2002). FAMILY MATTERS The thing that Chris does that annoys his wife is "too annoying to say" (Apr 21 2000). The worst thing he had done as a child (and what his punishment was) is a "family secret" (June 13 2000). Chris isn't telling whether he and Sherman will send Sophia to private school (Dec 19 2001) or whether he has a nickname for Sherman (Dec 19 2001). Chris says that fatherhood has added another layer to his performances, "but the depth and complexity in which it has had an effect is too much to really explain here…perhaps in my best-selling, scandal-dripping, yet witty and accessible memoirs…yes, perhaps" (Mar 20 2005). ROLES Chris says, "Sorry, can't give it up" when asked what he thinks allows Elliot Stabler to "hack what he does" (June 14 2000). If fans want to know what it's like playing a murderer, Chris says, "Wait for the memoirs" (Oct 19 2000). While he was playing both Elliot Stabler and Chris Keller, Chris refused to say which role he would give up if he had to (Feb 18 2002) and did not reveal how he related to either character (Oct 9 2002). Chris has refused to say whether Keller has the ability to love (July 3 2000) or feels any remorse (Aug 29 2000). He also declines to discuss how Keller would cope with trying to fit back into society (Sept 28 2003) or why Keller chose to kill himself (Feb 26 2004) and what Chris Meloni was thinking during the very last close-up on Chris Keller on the show (Mar 1 2003). Christopher has refused to say why Keller betrayed Beecher in Season 5 and to discuss whether Beecher was stupid to tell Keller about his relationship with his daughter's teacher (Feb 4 2003). He is close-mouthed about who on the show was the best kisser (June 22 2003) and does not say which Beecher/Keller scene was his favourite (Feb 16 2003). Chris did not tell whose idea it was for the "mooning shot" in "Revenge is Sweet" (Feb 4 2001) or how many takes and what he was thinking during the "Christ-like/blow-job" scene in that episode (Feb 4 2001). Chris also has refused to say why Correctional Officer Lopresti was never brought to justice on the show (Mar 1 2003). ASK SOMEONE ELSE At times, Chris has told fans to direct their questions to other people. If fans would like to know what unusual talent he possesses, they should ask Sherman (Jan 5 2000). People who want to know if Chris still has his baby blanket should ask Chris's mom (Apr 21 2000). Finally, those who would like to know why Keller would try to kill Zabitz if Keller was already afraid of going to hell should "ask Tom Fontana" (Aug 29 2000). STATE SECRETS Christopher has characterized certain pieces of information as being "state secrets" and therefore unavailable to the public. This is a partial list of state secrets:
