Half shark, half octopus, all scary.

Ron interviews the tentacled star of Roger Cormans Sharktopus about eating habits, method acting and social media… No, not Lady Gaga, were talking about SyFys own Sharktopus.

Good morning, Sharktopus.

May I call you Sharktopus, or do you prefer to go by your codename, S-11?

I am Sharktopus, and I chomp anyone who calls me S-11, so its up to you.

Syfy thought theyd redefine me as a monster.

They gave me the nickname S-11 because its mechanical and strips away all the personality of Sharktopus.

How does it feel being the newest of SyFys mon-stars?

Its bittersweet for me.

What was life really like on the set ofSharktopus?

Technically, a diva is a female opera singer, a performer.

The rest of Rogers allegations are hardly worthy of my response.

He will rue the day he called me Sharktopussy.

Life on the set of Sharktopus was pretty sweet.

I got along great with the cast until I began to realize they werent really filming my documentary.

Everyone was in on it.

Thats real method acting.

If you could chomp any person, real or imaginary, current or historic, who would you chomp?

Same question, except replace person with movie monster.

Who are you just aching to pick a fight with?

I have always wanted to chomp Artemis, I think we have a lot in common.

Id pick a fight with him just to make a point.

(Laughing) I was not born.

I was not created.

I chomp, therefore I am.

Whatever your market, you seem to be a big hit.

Are there any plans to take Sharktopus worldwide?

Whats the next move for a brand-minded Sharktopus like yourself?

Making an adult video for the Japanese market?

Id tell you, but then Id have to chomp you.

Do you really want my answer?

Err, thats okay.

I like my limbs and organs.

Speaking of Twitter, how do you manage it?

My trick is that Im telepathic.

I dont key in or have an assistant tweeting for me.

When you get chomped by Sharktopus on Twitter or Facebook, youre talking with the real deal.

How do you respond to claims that youre a bad example for kids, Sharktopus?

I mean, you ate lots of people, but no vegetables.

I mean, did kids start spinning spiderwebs with secret messages after they watched Charlottes Web?

Thats PETA for you.

You humans baffle me.

Do vegetables wear bikinis?

I would have cracked one of those open.

Are you really a bad guy, or are you just misunderstood?

I cant tell if youre smiling at me or licking your chops in anticipation of my inevitable chomping.

Ill let you respond while Im fleeing for my life.

Im a good guy.

I only chomp people who deserve it.

Do you deserve it?

I think you do…

Who, me?

Im Team Sharktopus for life!

I even bought the Sharktopus tee shirt…!
