Presenter: Hello everyone and welcome to our show 'Celebrities Today'. Tonight, in the studio we are happy to welcome a well-known actress, Kim Tottenham. Kim: Good afternoon. It is good to be here. Thank you for inviting me. Presenter: Kim, your last success as a hockey wife in the sitcom 'Married to an Ice Rink' is unbelievable. You're considered the sitcom actress of the year. How do you feel about that? Kim: Well, it is great of course, but I've never really been big on all that attention. I simply try to do my job well and I guess it pays off, but all the noise around my success is not really my cup of tea. Presenter: What do you mean? Do you not like to be seen as glamorous? Kim: Not really. It's funny, but I am first a mother and a wife and then an actress. You know, I see this as a job and not as a lifestyle. It is what I am good at and it brings money. Good money, of course, but this job doesn't own me. Presenter: I've heard that you have an unusual outlook on life for a celebrity. Tell us a bit more about your role as a family woman. Kim: It's ironic, really, but in this last sitcom I play a hockey player's wife, but at the same time that's who I am in real life as well. My husband is a well-known hockey player and we have three kids. All the kids are in school now, but they are still my main priority in life. We do a lot together. Presenter: That's interesting. Do you think that is why your role in 'Married to an Ice Rink' came so naturally to you? Kim: Maybe. Of course, my heroine is quite different from me in terms of character and temperament, but the day-to-day routines of juggling my husband's schedule and mine were very familiar to me. We are both very active, public, busy people, so we work extra hard not to lose our close connection to each other. Presenter: You said your heroine is different from you. Could you tell us how so? Kim: Sure. Lisa, my heroine, is selfish and ambitious and I prefer to put the needs of others first. Also, she is very athletic, a lot more than me. I work out twice or three times a week and Lisa goes to the gym daily. She also has a million friends, whereas I have a couple of close friends and spend time with family more. Those are the main differences, I believe. Presenter: It must have been challenging to play such a different person, but you did an excellent job. Tell us, what are your plans for the future? Will this sitcom have another season? Kim: Yes, and I will be starring again as Lisa, but this will be our last season. My contract is for two years. I am looking into some TV journalism, doing some talk shows or hosting a show of my own. I have a university degree in media, so this is something I've been dreaming of since I finished studying. My acting career picked up from the time I graduated, so I haven't had time to slow down and do something different. Presenter: So I believe next year I will try something new. Kim: How exciting! What kind of people would you want to invite to your shows? Presenter: I am hoping to hear from people who do something to change the world. I've been reading about men and women who volunteer in difficult areas of our globe where there is fighting, hunger, destitution. I would love to listen to their stories and have the audience get acquainted with these modern-day heroes. Kim: What a noble idea you have. I hope your dream comes true and you will host such a show. I will be your viewer for sure. Presenter: Thank you, John. But before I do that, I have to live through one more year of a busy sitcom actress. Kim: Good luck to you, Kim. And we are looking forward to watching your show.

Peter started to play football because … 1) his father made him do this. 2) he was raised in a football family. 3) it was the only choice of sports at his high school.

Presenter: Hello, everyone, and welcome to our Saturday night show. Today I am happy to present a well-known football player, Peter Summons. Hello, Peter. Peter: Hello. Thank you for inviting me. It is good to be here. Presenter: Well, Peter, you've had quite a career as a football player. How many years have you been playing the sport? Peter: Fifteen years. I started in Year 9 and played all through high school, university and then as a professional. Presenter: That's incredible. But going back to Year 9, tell us how it all started. Peter: Well, I didn't really have a choice whether to play or not since my father is a football coach. High school football was always a part of our family life. All weekends we spent on the field, watching my dad work with teams, play games, win tournaments. When I was old enough, I joined his team as well. Presenter: I see. What was it like being a son of your team's coach? Did he have high standards for you? Peter: I'd say his standards were even higher for me than for other team members. My dad, as a coach in our small town, was almost like a president. I had to have the respect and support of the town, the parents and the players. I had to be the best one out there, otherwise I wasn't allowed to play. It was something I had to live with and accept, and it was hard at times. Presenter: I can only imagine. Did your father advise you to play football at university? Peter: It was a mutual decision because it was a very natural thing to do. I loved the game and was the best player in our area, so I joined the university team. It was a lot of pressure, playing for one of the best university teams in the country. It was a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice, but a great time nevertheless. Presenter: So what happened after graduating from university? Peter: I had a choice to start working as a news reporter, since that was my major, or continue as a football player. I chose the second option. I joined the professional team a week after my graduation and played with them for the next seven years. In those seven years, I underwent seven serious surgeries and had three head injuries. Presenter: I have been following your career and have heard of those injuries. It must have been very difficult for your family to watch you in so much pain. Peter: Yes, my wife and my father are the two people who help me make the decision to leave football behind. They are the most important influences in my life, so I listen to them. When I was growing up, my father always told me that football is not the only thing in life — there are other things to strive for. Presenter: So what are your plans now? What will be your next passion? Peter: I want to be with my family more. I want to be a dad. For the last two years, I've been hosting my own show about hunting. My parents always taught me to use all that I've learned for the next stage in my life and to be the best I can be in it. So I guess that's what I will be doing with this show now. I have always enjoyed the outdoors, so this kind of work suits me well. Presenter: Well, I guess we'll be colleagues now, Peter. It's great to hear that you've found your passion in life again. But let me ask you, do you ever miss football now? Peter: You know, my coach's words on the day we won the national championship were: 'Guys, don't let this be the most important day of your lives. There are bigger things in life, bigger things to enjoy'. So I can't even tell you the last time I thought about football, even professional football. I am at a different stage now and life is just as exciting as it was before. Presenter: I am very glad to hear that, Peter. Thank you for sharing your story.
