Andrew Eborn's interview technique.. similar to Michael Parkinson. So good at his job Exudes warmth but a little dangerous in case he leads you on to indiscretions. He gives you the feeling "just between you and me,"

As a lawyer, he knows what questions to ask. As a showbiz personality, he understands that flattery can get someone nearly everywhere.
