Playboy.com: Before you started acting, you were a model. Who did you model for?
Jennifer Morrison: I was a kid, so I wouldn't consider that real modeling, but every Sunday you could open the paper and see me in ads for Kohl's, JCPenney, Montgomery Ward and stuff like that. The big scandal was when I was in seventh grade and I modeled a bathing suit. Everybody freaked out!
PB: You were also somewhat of a jock.
JM: I grew up dancing when I was a kid in Chicago. I played soccer for a couple of years in high school. Once I moved to Los Angeles and was in the warm weather all the time I learned how to play tennis, wakeboard, snowboard, surf and ride dirt bikes. I also go hiking in L.A.
PB: So you had a big head start when you got the part of a pro skateboarder in Grind.
JM: Actually, everything moved so quickly. We had two days to learn everything. They gave me Tony Hawk's Trick Tips videos. I'd be in my PJs at night with my board trying to learn how to Ollie on my carpet or skate up and down my alley at 2 a.m. I almost got evicted from my apartment complex. We spent the entire time on set on our boards, so we constantly got more comfortable and got better and better.
PB: What's the most difficult stunt you can do on a skateboard?
