I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Vincent Martella. This was my first interview to not only interview a celebrity but also meet them whether it was on the phone or face-to-face. Usually, my phone would record very well but I was surprised this time that the reception of the recording was very poor. Next time for future interviews, I will jot down notes and use a better voice recorder to record an interview. I apologize about this. The answers are not Vincent's exact sayings word for word but his sayings are very similar to what I wrote because I was able to hear some of the recordings. Plus, I have such a great memory in remembering what people tell me.
This interview was from October 14, 2013 at 4:01pm EST and ended at around 4:14pm EST.
Ben: Which celebrities inspire you to begin acting?
Vincent: Jim Carrey. The movie, Ace Ventura inspired me to start acting and I recently caught "Pet Detective" on television.
Ben: I was sad that one of my favorite shows growing up, Everybody Hates Chris got cancelled. On that show, How were you and your character, Greg similar?
Vincent: Greg and I are similar because his character likes pop culture and in real life, I am into that.

Vincent: I still keep in contact with Tyler James Williams. He is a very great actor.
Ben: What made you want to audition for Phineas and Ferb?
