It's not often that we here in the (back table at Buli Cafe) vast expanse of the TheaterJones headquarters are lured out for a one-on-one interview with someone of Blork's stature.

Of course, it's hard to tell precisely what his stature is. Bent nearly double by a rather large hump, Blork could be anywhere from 4 feet tall to just under 5'8". A man of a thousand faces and other body parts assembled from 35, um, corpses, Blork is unique. And cute. And funny.

For this video encounter with the central figure in Matt Lyle's hilarious comedy Hello Human Female, being revived by Audacity Theatre Lab with most of its original cast at Teatro Dallas (January 12-23), we subjected Blork to the famous Bernard Pivot questionnaire used by Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton.

With a few variations.

Click to play the video on this page. And please, when you meet Blork in person, don't mention his hump.
