Interview
Terra Hazelton
& Andy Sparacino of Fubar 2We had a chance to chat with Terra Hazelton and Andy Sparacino, two of the stars of Fubar 2. Hazelton plays Trish, a strip club waitress with a heart of gold and Terry’s love interest. Those familiar with the first Fubar film will know Sparacino — who played Terry and Dean’s old friend and “party leader” Tron — a role that he reprises in the sequel. We talk Fubar 2, music, LARPing and World of Warcraft, and even have enough time to shotgun a few beers.
