			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got the chance to interview actress and martial artist <span style="color: #000000;">Sascha Raeburn</span>.  Make sure to check out the &#8220;Kick Ass Anime Fight Scene&#8221; at the end of the interview!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span> </strong>How long have you been acting?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1308" title="newhdshot!" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/newhdshot-186x300.jpg" alt="newhdshot!" width="186" height="300" />SR:</span></strong> I&#8217;ve always been acting since I was a kid, school plays then I moved on to more serious acting courses and training run by universities then into T.V commercials, small parts on T.V. and films.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e21240;"><strong>CG:</strong><span style="color: #000000;"> I</span></span> know you are doing very well in Australia, are you an Australian native?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR:</span></strong> Yes, I am an Australian native, born and raised.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span></strong> When did you become interested in martial arts?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR:</span></strong> I took an interest in Martial Arts when I was a kid playing those Streetfighter games with my brothers growing up! However it was the discipline that drew me to it as I thought it would make me a better actor.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span></strong> I saw on your IMDb profile that you have a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. That is an amazing achievement. How long did it take you to get the Black Belt?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR:</span></strong> It took me roughly 4 years of hard training, a mixture of both one on one and group-style class training.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e21240;"><strong>CG: </strong></span>Are you trained in any other styles?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>Yes I&#8217;m trained in Capoeira for 4 years now as well.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG: </span></strong>Which is your favorite?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>I love them both for different reasons, Tae Kwon Do to me is like boxing it&#8217;s a direct art form and Capoeira is an art form which was developed to disguise the movements by using dance and acrobatics, there is a fluidity and agility I love about capoeira that is quite liberating. Both are rich in traditions and I really like that.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG: </span></strong>Which do you enjoy more acting or fighting?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1312" title="cartoon37" src="http://comigirl.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cartoon37-300x250.jpg" alt="cartoon37" width="300" height="250" />SR: </span></strong>My first passion is and always will be acting, ideally though it&#8217;s when the two meet. :)</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG: </span></strong>If you could beat up any man in Hollywood who would it be &amp; why?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR:</span></strong> I&#8217;d love to have a fun fist fight with Keanu Reeves he was awesome in The Matrix.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG</span></strong>: If you could beat up any woman in Hollywood who would it be &amp; why?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>I think it would be pretty cool fighting with Angelina Jolie, she was brilliant in &#8216;Wanted&#8217; I&#8217;d love to work opposite her just her physicality and presence alone impress me.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span></strong> If you where the star of an action movie and were given the power to choose your leading man from the following who would you choose:<br />
A.    Bruce Lee<br />
B.     Jet Li<br />
C.     Jackie Chan</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>Although Bruce Lee&#8217;s my idol.. It&#8217;s hard to choose between Jackie Chan and Jet Li, I&#8217;d get them both! They are amazing.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span></strong> There are a lot of new movies coming out that are inspired by martial arts. Which are you the most excited to see?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR:</span></strong> I&#8217;ve heard about &#8216;The Avengers&#8217; new movie and &#8216;Justice League: Mortal&#8217; I love comic book and video game films,  I&#8217;m excited about the talk of Kill Bill 3!!  I love Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s films. I&#8217;m also excited about anything Jean Claude Van Damme&#8217;s doing, he&#8217;s a bit of a legend in the Martial Art Film Genre.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG: </span></strong>Which actors/actresses inspire you?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>James Dean, Johnny Depp, Uma Thurman, Halle Berry, Michelle Rodriguez, Hillary Swank, Michelle Yeoh and there&#8217;s still more!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span></strong> The Kick Ass Anime Fight Scene is amazing. Is it part of a larger project? If so when will that be released? What was the inspiration behind it?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>Thank you! It was an opportunity to work with Fan Huang a talented Taiwanese director, it may expand to something bigger but for now it&#8217;s a short film. The inspiration behind it was &#8216;Bubblegum Crisis&#8217; a cool 80&#8242;s Japanese, cyberpunk anime. It&#8217;s about these girls that kick ass called &#8216;The Knight Sabers&#8217; they fight and protect Tokyo, it&#8217;s fantastic!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e21240;">CG:</span></strong> Are there any other projects you are currently working on?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #73197f;">SR: </span></strong>Yes, an Independent feature film due out next year, it&#8217;s action based! I&#8217;m playing, &#8216;Eva&#8217; she kicks ass! The film&#8217;s called &#8216;Nightstar&#8217;. I&#8217;m also working on a couple of short film projects, one which is martial arts.</p>
