• I'm a little confused. Did Shaun and Karla leave Hi-5?
  
  Yes, Shaun and Karla left Hi-5 in the summer of 2006 to pursue other career opportunities. Shaun has been in the off-Broadway musical "Altar Boyz", and Karla was in "Drift" at The New York Musical Theatre Festival, as well as an episode of "The Knights of Prosperity" on ABC in February 2007. Of course, they will always remain part of the "Hi-5 family" :) and they continue to communicate with Hi-5 fans on the Hi-5 mailing lists (see our Links for more info), so please support them in whatever way you can!
  
  Two great new cast members are now part of Hi-5, with Yasmeen taking the place of Karla and Sydney taking the place of Shaun. The current slate of TV episodes was filmed during 2002-2005 with the original cast members.
  
  
• OK, so when will "Hi-5" episodes with Sydney and Yasmeen be on television?
  
  That's a GREAT question. So far, new "Hi-5" episodes with Sydney and Yasmeen haven't been taped yet. In fact, as of mid-July 2007, it seems as though Discovery Communications will not be producing ANY new "Hi-5" episodes at all! Hi-5 fans have been rallying to encourage Discovery to produce new episodes. If you're interested in seeing new "Hi-5" shows, add your name here!
  
  
• Is there any Hi-5 merchandise anywhere?
  
  Yes! We have lots of information in our Hi-5 Merchandise section.
  
  
• Is there any way I can get an autographed picture of the Hi-5 cast?
  
  Update: We're sorry to say that due to high demand, we are temporarily out of Hi-5 autographed cards.
  
  
• Didn't this site used to be called "Follow the Man" or something like that?
  
  Yes! We're still the same website. :) We just removed that phrase, which comes from Rent, because Curtis hasn't been in Rent for a long time now!
  
  
• Can I link to this site?
  
  Of course! We love being linked to! Let us know, and we'll put you on the thanks page.
  
  
• Can I use your pictures/sounds/etc. on MY website?
  
  Ask the picture's original owner, most of them aren't ours. (If it's ours, we'll probably let you, but do ask.) Most of the time we'd just prefer if you'd simply link to us. We'll link to you, too, if you'd like!
  
  
• I have a question you didn't answer!
  
  Drop us a line at curtis.site@gmail.com! We're very friendly and we'll try to get back to you as quickly as we can!
  
  
• Ooooh! What do you know about Curtis' personal life? Tell me everything! Is he married?
  
  Yes! In June 2007 Curtis married actress Jenn Gambatese, and we have a great photo from their wedding day here. :)
