The Guild is the hit webseries about a group of online friends from an MMORPG who end up coming together in person after one of the members decides to cross the line and meet in real life. And of course, much hilarity ensues as a result. The show is now into season 3, and it's cast has become quite the draw at comic book, gaming, and sci-fi/fantasy conventions all over the country.
I recently had a chance to chat with The Guild's Jeff Lewis at the GameX video game expo and media convention in Philadelphia, which was held the weekend of October 23rd. Lewis plays the guild's warrior, and former Guild Leader. He is also an alumni of the ACME Theater Group, and The Groundlings, and has appeared as a guest star in various television shows, which includes an upcoming spot in an episode of Glee.
Be sure to check out the interview with The Guild's Sandeep Parikh (Zaboo) which was posted earlier this week, and keep an eye out for the upcoming interview with Robin Thorsen (Clara), who were also interviewed at GameX!
On with the interview (and please excuse the little bit of “fan-girling” I did! I couldn't help it.).
Kelly Rowles: How did you get involved in The Guild?
Jeff Lewis: Felicia, and Sandeep and I were in an improv group called Being Humans a couple years ago. She wrote the part [of Vork] for me and [Zaboo] for Sandeep and just asked us if we would do the pilot, and that was it. Everyone else auditioned but we were pretty close for a few years.
