Yam! : Issue 17/02 : APRIL 2002 Does Michael leave The Tribe - Interview With Michael Wesley Smith (Jack in The Tribe)! Article and translation provided by Franzi - Cheers! :D  TRANSLATION Does Michael leave The Tribe? Michael Wesley-Smith: I want to become a doctor! Star or doctor? Shooting or healing? Michael reveals all in the Yam!-Interview where he sees his future... It's a pity that New Zealand is so far away. Because there lives Michael Wesley-Smith, one of the hottest boys in the TV world! The 18-year old plays Jack, one of the stars of the KiKa series "The Tribe". Without him the "Mall Rats " would be stuck because Jack is an absolute technology genius! With simple averages, like a short-wave broadcast, he is allowed to contact the other tribes. His greatest dream is to activate a nuclear power plant to supply the whole area with energy again, a very high ambition! He also has high ambitions in real life. In the Yam!-Interview he reveals what his ambitions are for and when he wants to hang the show game on the nail - and whether he really leaves The Tribe... Yam!: You are something like the "MacGyver" on "The Tribe". Are you a technology-freak in real life too? Michael: In such a way, it's ok. I never really liked maths and physics at school but I was a crack in chemistry. My technique talent is just enough for my PlayStation and my jet ski. In a manner I would say that I would really like to become a doctor like my parents. I really like to help people who are ill. Yam!: Stop! Does that mean, that you want to stop filming "The Tribe"? Michael: Did that sound like it? So, now you can say it, Jack is history! I become a doctor!… No, it's all rubbish (laughs)! I have a contract and I will fulfil it. In addition, my role is in a sense important for the continuation of the series… I could never leave! Yam!: Do you find the acting really fun for you at all? Michael: Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't have already made it for so long! Acting is a lot of fun. You become acquainted with a lot of cool people and travel around the whole world. But for the future - after the end of "The Tribe" in a couple of years - I will persue something else. I know wanting to become the same thing as my parents sounds terribly boring and unimaginative, but it would be fun for me! Yam!: What kind of doctor do you want to become? Michael: Silly question, a gynaecologist of course! (laughs) No, I haven't though of it yet!… Child specialist would be a possibility. I can do well with kids. Perhaps because I am still almost one! Yam!: As a beauty/plastic surgeon, you would be able to earn more money... Michael: I think, there will be a problem, I would not improve the people but embellish them and may make Frankenstein-monsters out of them. I have the two link hands you can imagine! Yam!: Again, in order to be completely sure, you won't leave "The Tribe" before ending? Michael: Like I said, I remain loyal to the series! I won't get out neither now nor in the foreseeable future. It would be silly as we have success in the whole world now! You will have to have to keep looking at me for a while! PICTURES. Jack (he has got red hair in the series) with one of his inventions (l.) and on the set. Mike is saying in the speech bubble: "If you prefer me with red hair, you have to switch on 'The Tribe' on KiKa!" Tension is announced in the series! As Jack has to fight with his friends against other tribes. |
