Twenty Questions with Detective Peter Tao, from Hacked Up
(from Ethan Stone: I’ve done twenty questions with me but today I’m going to do it with Detective Peter Tao, the main character of Hacked Up.)
- Do you like blue cheese?
Peter Tao:It’s not my favorite thing in the world but a salad with a few blue cheese crumbles isn’t the all that bad.
- Have you ever smoked cigarettes?
Peter Tao I tried when I was fifteen and my dad caught me. He was furious. That alone was enough to stop me from ever trying it again.
- Do you own a gun?
Peter Tao I’m a cop. What do you think?
- What flavor Kool-Aid?
Peter Tao Is there a vodka flavor?
- Do you get nervous before a Dr. appt?
Peter Tao That would mean I actually go to the doctor. I prefer to stay away from anyone wearing a white coat.
- What do you think of hot dogs?
Peter Tao Full of some of the grossest stuff out there. I love em.
- Favorite Movie?
Peter Tao Probably not the best choice but I love the Dirty Harry movies. I don’t envision myself as Dirty Harry and I’m much more by the book than he is but, damn, sometimes I wish I could do what he does and get away with it.
- What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Peter Tao Coffee. The stronger the better.
- Can you do a push up?
Peter Tao Absolutely. Try to do ‘em every day to keep myself in shape.
- What’s your favorite piece of jewelry?
Peter Tao I have a ring from my maternal grandmother that is very sentimental to me. It was her wedding ring. If I were straight I’d give it to my wife. Marriage isn’t in my future, even if it is legal. I have no plans to come out. It would destroy my parents.
- Do you have a favorite hobby?
Peter Tao Does work count as a hobby?
- Do you have ADD?
Peter Tao Nope. I’m skilled at multi-tasking and staying focused.
- Do you wear glasses?
Peter Tao 20-20 vision, baby.
- Who was your childhood idol?
Peter Tao George Michael
- Name three drinks you regularly drink?
Peter Tao Coffee, Beer, Vodka.
- Current worries?
Peter Tao Figuring out how to have a love life and not have my parents find out.
- Current hate?
Peter Tao Beliefs that exist simply because someone a long time ago said it was so.
- Favorite place to be?
Peter Tao The police station.
- How do you bring in the new year?
Peter Tao Last year was with my best friend, Jamey. This year…depends what’s going on with Bryce.
- Where would you like to go?
Peter Tao: Bryce’s bed. It hasn’t happened yet. Hopefully soon.
