Jason Mewes Reveals His Favorite Non-Jay And Silent Bob Film Experiences

"I wouldn't say it was intimidating to be in one of Kevin's movies and not playing Jay, but I definitely was a little more nervous than usual. The good thing with Kevin is that I feel really comfortable with him, and I had him talking to me about trying to make the character different from Jay. What was more intimidating was the cast. To be working with Seth Rogen? That was a little intimidating! It was cool that I got to work with Jeff Anderson again, though.

I was definitely concerned about making sure that I was holding my own against the rest of the cast, though, and I was worried about having Lester just turn out to be Jay with short hair! But I tried my best. And Kevin makes everything run smoothly and creates such a comfortable vibe. He just comes to work and he's like, 'Hey, everybody, it's awesome to be here today, right? Are you ready to shoot?' And he sort of throws that energy at everyone else, and then everyone else is having a blast. So if I was worried about something on set, I'd talk to him.

"I will say, though, that my scenes with Katie Morgan... I think that would've been a little more nerve-wracking if that had been with someone else! I mean, I hadn't even really kissed anybody [onscreen] 'til the Jay and Silent Bob movie, and I remember that when I was making out with Shannon Elizabeth, I was so uncomfortable, because I didn't know what the protocol was. I was, like, 'Do I ask her if we're putting our tongues in each other's mouths? Is that something you ask? Is that insulting because, as an actor, I should know never to put your tongue in your co-star's mouth? I don't know!' And she was very nice, don't get me wrong, but I would say that she didn't really hang out and chit-chat a whole bunch, so I couldn't get really a vibe from her.

"Whereas Katie was, like, coming up to you in between takes and saying, like, 'Hey, how're you doing? What's going on?' She was very outgoing and chatty. So with her, it was just, like, 'Okay, Jay, this scene, if you're worried about it, don't be: I've done this a few times. We'll just pretend to do this. Don't worry about hurting me.' Because at first I was being obnoxious and, like, banging her against the counter, and I was worried I was going to hurt her head! But she said, 'Don't worry!' She just made it very comfortable and very easy to shoot that scene when we were pretending to do it in the coffee beans. And I really do think that if I had done that with anyone else, it would've just been very awkward, and it wouldn't have come across on camera as fun and goofy as it did. She made it great."
