TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE,
where would Daniel like to be in 5 years? What would he like to have achieved by then? "That's a really appropriate question for this time of year. I would like to have had a little visit from the good fairy you mentioned by then. Really. I would love to be in a place where I could choose my projects in different media, and be in a position where I could provide stability for my life and those around me."

Thanks
The author would like to send a most heartfelt and sincere "Thank you!" to Fiona
for editing, to Rebekah for encouraging and helping in countless ways, and last but not least
to The Man Himself, for so graciously agreeing to answer her questions!
Christine Berni, a.k.a. Chris to her internet friends, is neither Asian nor American, but half Swiss and half Italian. At first glance quiet and reserved, her Italian temperament comes through when she gets excited about something. She is earning her living in Switzerland as a secretary, and spends most of her free time on a variety of creative endeavors. As a self-declared night creature, Chris usually spends weekend mornings in bed.
Chris discovered Daniel Dae Kim in Crusade, after she got the series on video tape from a fellow Gary Cole fan in the USA. Kim's Lieutenant Matheson quickly caught up with Cole's Captain Gideon on Chris's popularity meter. Her curiosity about this talented young actor piqued, she immediately started searching the internet, where she got some first leads and met other "DDK" fans. Chris has since caught up on his projects as much as possible from across the big pond, and is happy to say she's indebted for life to the webmistress of http://www.danieldaekim.org.
Despite a life-long love of writing, this is the first time Chris has written and published an article.
