The quiet one, with the sinister laugh, dishes the dirt.
ABC Moderator: Wonderful to have you here, Henry! So how are you feeling this first day after "The Mole?"
Henry: I'm feeling fantastic.

Sternchen: Were you surprised that you were the next player to be executed, especially since you had predicted it would be Charlie?
Henry: No, I was not surprised. As a matter of fact, I had told the entire group it would be a male. I couldn't tell if it would be Charlie, or myself, and out of human instinct, you don't want to choose yourself to be the person, so I went with Charlie. Everyone agreed he would be the next to go.

ABC Moderator: But still you weren't surprised it was you?
Henry: No. I was not surprised. And if you look at the show, before it got to me, I had a grin on my face, and I had a laugh about the outcome of the execution.

Star Bright: What made you predict that Charlie was going to be next?

ABC Moderator: You said it had to be a male next. Why Charlie?
Henry: The reason why I pointed out Charlie is that the time I was going to write down the name on the table I solicited everyone who would be next to go. Everyone thought it would be Charlie. So instead of my own name on the ticket, I decided to go with the group's decision.

Natasha: How long were you out of contact with your family back home? Did you want to go back home after talking to them on the phone?
Henry: I was out of contact with my family back home for approximately 20 to 24 days, and there was a longing to go back home. So even after the execution, there was a sort of relief.

ABC Moderator: I could see that longing on your face, especially when it came to your anniversary, and wishing your wife a Happy Anniversary.
Henry: Yeah. At the time I was married, and so I was definitely really bent out of shape about missing the anniversary.

Ron: What would you have done with the money if you had won?
Henry: If I had won, I would have done a lot for my family. I also would have paid for the rest of my college education, as well as--this is least known--I would have had laser surgery for my eyes.

Robisnon: Whom are you rooting for to win now?
Henry: I don't have a personal favorite as to who wins.

Twinkle: What do you think was the best experience you'll always remember from being on the show?
Henry: I think the best experience from being on the show was the ability to travel around. I hadn't had that luxury in my lifetime--to go to different places--not to mention the way we went. We had five-star everything. Those were definitely memories to keep for a lifetime.

ABC Moderator: What about fighting a real live bull?
Henry: As far as fighting the bull, it was a last minute challenge--a test of your courage, and what you are made of. You can talk the talk, and then you have to walk the walk. It cleared things up for me.

Dream: Any helpful hints as to who the Mole is?
Henry: Helpful hints--keep an eye on facial expressions. The Mole has a way of giving away whether they know things in advance or not, just on facial expressions. Also, keep an eye on who dashes for the camera. That will be a big giveaway.

Fantasia: What did your friends say when they saw you on TV?
Henry: (laughing) Oh, man. Friends, they couldn't believe it. My phone literally started ringing from six in the morning to three in the morning. They were calling me all day--friends from all over the country. And as the show went on, they all supported me.

ABC Moderator: So you made friends while you were there?
Henry: While I was there, I did not make friends. I made it clear to the other players I didn't think a friendship based on lies was a friendship.

Dolphins Dream: What did you do beforehand to prepare you for the game?
Henry: Beforehand, I pretty much went over a lot of logic problems. I tried to sort of put myself in the position of the producers, as to whom I feel that they would pick, because I had a chance to hang out with these guys. I thought I knew what they were looking for. I was winging it a bit.

Mel: Were you tempted to look at the production book they left in the room? Why didn't you look at it?
Henry: I'm a very observant person. I did see the book, and I was tempted to, but it was in the game, and you have to realize there are certain lines you can't cross. I wasn't prepared to cross that line. So there was a temptation, but my morals held me back.

Fa Ellen: Did you think Jim was going to be able to convince the second group to stop answering the problems during the University test?
Henry: I felt that Jim would be able to do it for the other group, and that it would be a challenge who was paranoid, and no one would believe anyone. I was confident in his ability to convince everyone.

Fred Flintstone: Which country was your favorite to visit? Why?
Henry: Spain was my favorite, and I say this because of the quality of the people, not necessarily the place. There was one episode, and we were literally knocking on people's doors and asking to use their washing machines. We were in a small town, and there were people who were so genuine and so nice. I couldn't believe there were people that nice anywhere in the world. I was taken back by that.

Shut Off: What happened to you after you were executed?
Henry: Right after you get the axe, it's pretty much what you see on TV. You get your bags and go home! (laughing)

ABC Moderator: Can you tell us what happens after you get in the van?
Henry: What happens is, really, they don't know who is getting axed, so they can't really book flights in advance. So you do spend some down time in the city till they can get your flight situation straightened out.

Paper Fly: Did you get to keep anything?
Henry: No! You actually get stripped of everything, including the bag. You get the bags that you originally brought with you. Any notes you may have, you are searched for, and they are taken.

Nena: Do you know if the Mole auditioned like the rest of you guys did, or was he hired separate from everyone else?
Henry: That individual was interviewed, like the rest of us, and the producers just take them out of the other nine for the purpose of being the mole. I think it was probably done a week or a week and a half before we actually met each other.

Exedrin: What was your audition like? Did you send in a videotape? And if so, what were you doing on the tape?
Henry: My audition was very unique. I work at one of the places that they did the live screenings. I was minding my own business, and the manager of Tu Tu Tango told me to try out for the show. And after much convincing, he said I would make a great TV personality, and to just do it. I just decided to do it. I was real on camera, and they picked me. I was honored.

Gord Of The Fries: Did you have more rules in the Iron Mask test than we heard on TV? Anderson said to Kathryn on the cell phone, and I'm quoting, "All three keys and all people must be present on the island to free the hostage." Then, somehow you were shown telling people, "We all have to be together." Is it possible the requirements were not passed on to you correctly, and you could have won the test just by freeing Steven?
Henry: Thank you! OK, the specifics on that task were that we all had to find our clues in the vehicles, and we all had a key in the vehicle. The entire group had to be together at the same time to rescue Steven, and everyone knew that the entire group had to be there. Ultimately, Jennifer didn't make it back in time, so we failed that test.

Orion: What are some of the things that happened that they didn't show on TV?
Henry: What gets edited are some of the beginnings of conflicts, so you never know why the conflict is there. More things like the obvious, where people are in the restroom, and so on. You can tell some really funny stories! And the order that people do some of these events gets changed around a bit, and a few other things.

Merillon: It always seemed like you and Jennifer hated each other. Was this constant between you, or is this because of how the show is edited?
Henry: That's a very good question, as well. I don't have hate in my heart. Jennifer may have hated me, but the editing in the show made it seem as if it were a mutual thing. I actually like Jennifer, and I think she's a great person outside the game. Our problems were in the game. Sometimes, off camera, we had great conversations, and I didn't think I was being hated.

Mystery Girl: What was going through your mind when you were asked to perform tasks that you really didn't want to do? Were there any you'd like to do again?
Henry: I didn't run into any tasks I didn't want to do. I was the gung ho person in the group. Anything you threw my way I was down for. I would do the skydiving again, and the bull fighting task.

Chin: Did you take notes as you went along, like some of the others seem to be doing?
Henry: I definitely took notes. I wasn't as obvious about my note taking. Some was by hand, but a lot was mental. Some of the other players were big on notes. Katherine was huge on note taking, which is an advantage.

Cheatin' Tral: Some of the sample quiz questions seem tough to answer within the confines of the game, such as "What year is the Mole's car?" Were you asked this sort of question before the game began, or was this part of what goes on during your individual interviews? Is there a rule regarding lying to other players about such information to mislead them on the quizzes?
Henry: There is no rule about lying to the other players, (laughing), so it's feasible to feed them false information, and then they get screwed on the test. As far as knowing the information, some of the questions on the quizzes are derived from conversations that were held, and maybe not information that was posted. Like, maybe I think that Tommy Hill is the Mole. He might be talking to Sally, and they will say he had a blue cat. The producers will hear it, and they will use it in the quiz. It's not necessarily information you have your hands on. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

Annie Gram 4u: Henry, in episode four, was Charlie's goal to quarrel, or was it just to identify Kate as the armed one?
Henry: In Episode four, I believe Charlie's goal was to quarrel. That was his technique, his game plan. He thought if he put people off emotionally, they would make bad decisions. They wouldn't be as concrete if they weren't as emotional, so his game plan was to ruffle people's feathers to give him an advantage.

Paul: Did Jennifer really say she was sick, or to land the helicopter?
Henry: Jennifer really said she was sick. If you watch the video, there is one part of this where she held her mouth and pretended to vomit. I thought there was an ulterior motive, and I would play along with it. She definitely said she was sick.

Rustavo: Henry, in episode two, why did Jennifer run off after you had reached the building where Steven was held? Why did she blame you for the failure?
Henry: Jennifer ran off on the Steven test, because she was going to go down and help the other players, and show them to the top of the Compound. It was complex, and winding in terms of finding the top. I hadn't realized that on the other side there was a dock for the boat, and the entrance for that side of the island was an entrance to the top of the compound. She ran off in the wrong direction of either entrance, and she blew it. Her only cover was to take attention from her, and put it on me. I originally started to combat that, but then I thought, I can suck this up a bit and leave the other players questionable as to whether I was the Mole or not. I thought that was to my advantage.

Mama Bear: Do you think Jennifer is trying to make people think she is the Mole to throw them off the trail of the real mole?
Henry: (laughing) At that point in the game, I definitely felt that way. I think she realized early in the game, "I have to lose a little money, but if I can do something that looks like a Mole tactic, that will make it easier for me when I take my quizzes."

ABC Moderator: And speaking of quizzes and riddles and questions?

Cintra: What riddle did you find the most difficult in episode four?
Henry: In Episode four, the one I found most difficult was the triangles, just given the time frame and sense of urgency, it was hard to calculate. The one I found most intriguing, and not necessarily easy, was the alphabet, that I found the letters.

Grant: What did you think about Kate's tactics in the game?
Henry: I think Kate is doing an excellent job of playing the game. She's crafty, witty, smart, and laid back, and you can see this from the episode when we are doing the wash test. That's one where she sort of tried to pace the whole thing. She told us stories. If we don't get back in X amount of time, we won't make it. So if she wanted to throw the test, we wouldn't have blamed her. She played her cards selectively.

Mc Fan: We all know that the winner gets the money in the group's pot. My question is, does the Mole get any money, or is he or she just wasting their time?
Henry: The Mole will more than likely get paid a very nice amount of money. We, as a group, discussed that from time to time when we were driving the vans. The collective idea from the group was that the Mole would get at least a hundred thousand dollars. It's a hard role. You are at ABC's disposal 24 hours a day.

Rhett Jakob: It seems like after every execution, the tension gets even higher. What was it like afterwards? Did you guys talk to each other much?
Henry: After the executions, there would be times when we would sit back and reminisce about other players. Tension grew, because everyone knew that you were investing that time. It was inevitable that most of us would ultimately get the axe. As it went on, with sleep deprivation increasing and tensions flaring, people were feeling, "Hey! If I'm not going to be the winner, then I'm sort of shooting things here in the dark." So that added to the drama of everything. It was setting the stage for something huge, and the competition actually gets a lot fiercer.

Mole Luva: Does ABC show you everything that really happened, because sometimes I feel like we only see what ABC wants us to see, and they are hiding some things that went down that could help us solve the mystery. So was there some stuff we never saw?
Henry: You are correct, Mole Man! There are certain things that are not shown. I don't think it's a plot by ABC to throw you. There is a lot of editing done. There are some things that are done, but the very good viewer--the very perceptive viewer--will be able to interpret. You have to be observant. The Mole is addictive!

Hhy: How did it feel to be helpless in the trap University test while Jim went to tell the others to stop?
Henry: In the University test, there are times you have to put yourself out on a limb to test the other players. I was glad I was there, so I could see Jim, and if he would stop other players, or if he was goofing around. As far as other players solving the quizzes, that was uneasy. We knew when we got to the end that names would be taken.

KT: Why did you estimate the water question when Jennifer knew the right way to do it?
Henry: The whole editing there made it seem Jennifer knew the right way, but she was describing another way. I had the idea behind the water question, but the way we measured the water, they said it was estimation. We decided not to spend the few minutes to find the alternate route, but I did afterwards. I had to find the answers!

Msltoe: Did some people in the group just get physically sick from all the traveling and rush-rush?
Henry: No one actually got physically sick, but people were on the end of physical exhaustion. It is a lot of running and traveling, and you are missing sleep. So it only takes a small cold, and it's a molehill. No pun intended! There were a lot of things going on that can affect you physically.

Mike B: Many people think there will be a 'twist' to who the Mole is. Do you think that's true, or that it's just one of the competitors, as it's presented?
Henry: I definitely think that the Mole ending will have a huge twist to it. Although, I think, once again, if you are very observant, it won't be a huge twist to you, but it won't be one of those things where you say, "Hey! I picked that person from the beginning."

ABC Moderator: So we're in store for a surprise!

ABC Moderator: OK, then we'll just take another question.

Amy: What have you been doing since you left the show?
Henry: Since I left the show, I immediately went back to work, and got into the normal swing of things. I spent time traveling, taking time off, and spending time with the family. I am recently divorced, and I am out spending time having fun.

Jax: Do you think that despite possibly knowing that she was being watched, Kathryn couldn't resist reading the bogus production notes, or did she assume that no one was watching?
Henry: Oh, yeah! I think that Kathryn assumed that no one was watching. If you watch, she's aware there could be hidden cameras. She checks to see if she can spot one, and then she walks over to the book. She knew she could have been watched, but she thought that she wasn't, and looked anyway.

PI: Henry, how much information did you guys pump each other for, and did people have to be truthful?
Henry: We pumped each other for enormous amounts of information, because you can't be everywhere at once. The Mole could be having a conversation with one of the players, and from that, production could use any information on the quiz. So you had to be in contact with others. And at times, you would get inaccurate information. Someone else wouldn't want you to have the same information they had.

Mole Man: Would you agree with me in saying that the Mole's identity, (name, background, age, etc.) is completely made up?
Henry: A lot of the information was being peddled falsely. That was part of the game. I don't think that information is completely made up. I think the Mole's info is pretty legit, just from the sense that if the Mole were picked by production, literally, a week before the whole thing went down, that would put the person in the position of learning a false background. If they made a mistake, they would expose himself/herself.

Matty Matt: What do you feel was your biggest mistake during the game?
Henry: My last test! (laughing) I don't have any regrets, or feel like I made mistakes. I wasn't as aggressive as I should have in choosing who the Mole was. I might have blown that ten grand in Paris with Manuel, but I had a ball, and the adventure I was looking for.

The show has changed my life. I'm still the same person, but people see me a little differently. At work, people come in and ask me questions. I walk down the street, and someone points, and says "Muah!"(my trademark in the commercials.) That brought a lot of attention to me in South Florida. Right now, I have a couple of opportunities in front of me that weren't there before, and I thank God for that.

ABC Moderator: It's been wonderful chatting with you!
Henry: I would just like to say thank you to all of the viewers, and the people who support us. The production team, and everyone who has been involved in "The Mole" are phenomenal.
