Laura Ceron - AOL Chat
January 22, 1997
OnlineHost: Good evening! The WB Virtual Lot Presents: Cybertalk! Tonight we are joined by Laura Ceron who plays Nurse Marquez on the hit television show "ER." She's here to discuss her recent onscreen relationship with "Dr. Greene" (Anthony Edwards) and take questions from all the "ER" fans. Welcome, Laura Ceron!
LauraCeron: Thanks, it's great to be here. I'm a little nervous since this is my first time online.
WB Online7: We're glad to have you Laura! ;-)
WB Online7: Our first question is from Baabaabee....
Question: Who do you think is the sexiest doctor on "ER"?
LauraCeron: Well, what do you think? I mean I've already spent one episode in bed with Anthony Edwards so of course, I'd have to say he's pretty sexy. But all the guys on the show are great too! They're definitely a fun bunch to work with.

Question: What is it like working with the cast of ER? What about the directors?
LauraCeron: Everyone is really great to work with. My first episode I worked on was with Quentin Tarantino. He had a lot to do with me getting the job, as well the casting director and some of the producers. He was a lot of fun. He's wild. The last episode I just finished filming was yesterday and the director was Felix Alcala. I love working with him because he plays music in between takes and he's Latino.

Question: Do u use real blood?
LauraCeron: Yeah, my own...just kidding. No, we use some kind of sticky syrup which is red. The prop people are really good at coming up with effects that look really real. At times, it grosses me out. But after being there hours and hours, I get used to it and it's not that bad.
WB Online7: From Meph12......
Question: What character do you play?
LauraCeron: I play Nurse Chuni Marquez. And if you've recently watched, it was a big surprise to a lot of people, including myself, but she gets involved with Dr. Mark Greene. That was fun to do.
WB Online7: From Tmbirdie....
Question: How does it feel to be on Er?
LauraCeron: First of all it feels great to have a job. Especially doing what you love to do which for me is acting, of course. I've been very lucky to have gotten this job so early since my move to Los Angeles. I grew up in Chicago. I love that city. As I said before, it's a lot of fun working on the set with all the actors and crew. We entertain each other quite a bit.
WB Online7: Hey ER fans! If Laura doens't answer your question by 9: 45 pm/ET, don't worry!!! She'll be joining us on The Warner Bros. Virtual Lot at that time. Get there by going to Keyword: WBLot. Then clicking on CHAT LOUNGE.
WB Online7: From Baabaalee....
Question: Do you miss Chicago?
LauraCeron: I miss Chicago very much, but I don't miss the wind chill. The snow is fine. I also miss my family, friends, theatre and night life. I'm actually from Elgin...a small city 45 minutes northwest from Chicago. Elgin's grown quite a bit, they even have a riverboat casino. Beautiful little city.

Question: Did you always know you wanted to act?
LauraCeron: I probably did, but didn't realize it. I just went through life following a lot of activities that involved performance. Such as receiting, folkloric dancing in Mexico City because that's where I was born. Then here in the U.S., continued with that and in junior high school and high school I got into acting. And it just evolved into a professional career. Thank God!

Question: Is George Clooney intimidating?
LauraCeron: George Clooney is so intimidating, I can't even get my lines out : ) I'm glad he's on the set when he is. He makes everybody laugh. Quite a nice guy. And all the girls tell me he's so cute, but I can't say because my husband's right next to me : )

Question: Hi,,I work at Eastman Kodak, do you like the quality film that your program is shot on??
LauraCeron: I'm not a professional camera technician, but it looks good to me. The resolution seems very clear. I wish I knew a little more about film quality when it comes to TV to answer your question better. But you've sparked curiosity, I'll ask questions to some people who may be able to tell me more about it on the set next week.
WB Online7: From BFisher39......
Question: How about Noah?????
LauraCeron: My husband stepped away...Noah's real cute! Noah's a little more quiet than George, which is also very appealing. I also enjoy working with him. Very smart guy and very charming.
WB Online7: From Baabaabee.......
Question: What has been your most challenging role as an actress?
LauraCeron: My most challenging role as an actress was back in Chicago on stage at Latino Chicago Theatre Company. The play was called "Each Day Dies With Sleep" by Jose Rivera. I had to go from being a 5-year-old to a grown woman. From a crazy life with 20 brothers and sisters to California with a vain husband who wanted to be a model. And all he cared about was his looks. THe director pushed me to another level which I appreciated because I felt I grew as an actress. Thank you, good question.

Question: HI!!!! This is so exciting to be talking to you!!!! Are you regularly online, or just for tonight?
LauraCeron: This is also very exciting for me. I've never been online. THis is my first night. I'm enjoying this very much and I will probably buy a computer and join you guys. Thanks!
WB Online7: From Laura Vas.......
Question: What is like being on such ahigh rated medical drama?
LauraCeron: I don't know what it's supposed to feel like because this is only my second TV show. The first one was "Missing Persons" in Chicago but it only lasted one season. But I think it's exciting to be part of a well-written, well-directed show with a great cast.
WB Online7: Our last question is from Holy4044.....
Question: I see you were part of the Latina Chicago Theater. Any more theater in your future?
LauraCeron: Chicago has such a great theater community. And our theatre did a lot of original works that it's kind of hard to find something similar in Los Angeles. But I really haven't put too much effort in finding that here. Latino Chicago was my family and it's going to be hard to find that. But I feel like being on stage soon. I miss it a lot. I have been off stage for 2 years and it's time. So, I'm going to start putting more effort in looking for the right theatre and/or the right play.
WB Online7: We would like to thank ER star Laura Ceron for joining us this evening on this week's edition of Virtual Lot CyberTalk(tm)!
