sliders chat
Taken from a chat session with Sabrina Lloyd.

This was all said on the Universal's chat page:

Moderator says, "Greetings Universal Chatters and welcome to another live moderated chat! Tonight we're privileged to have Sliders star Sabrina Lloyd at the Backlot Café. Sabrina Lloyd stars as computer whiz Wade Wells on the hit series Sliders. A native of Eustis, Florida, Lloyd began her acting career at the age of 12 when she starred in a local production of the musical Annie. She made her feature film debut in Chain of Desire and then went on to star in Father Hood with Patrick Swayze. Sabrina has also had a guest-starring role in the hit TV series Law & Order. On Friday, May 9, you'll see a side of Wade (Sabrina Lloyd) you've never seen before in a very special episode of Sliders. The episode, directed by Sliders cast member Jerry O'Connell, features a vocal performance by Sabrina Lloyd. In the episode, Wade sings in a gothic rock band comprised of vampires (featuring guest star Duff McKagan of "Guns & Roses"). Should be pretty cool. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's chat time. Please welcome Sabrina Lloyd."

Moderator says, "Sabrina...I have to ask the first question....Is this your first time chatting live on the interent?"
