I definitely don't look my age, ... So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me. |
I do think there was an active choice to do something small, as simple as it may sound, just so I didn't have to work on something for 16 months. The idea of two months, nice and contained, just about character, and no time in makeup was a thrill to me. |
I don't know that I necessarily feel more comfortable in the context of smaller films, but I tend to feel more comfortable more often than not with the material of smaller films, |
I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, "Poor thing." I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better. |
I loved the story of these three characters [Wood's American Jonathan, his Ukrainian interpreter Alex and Alex's grandfather, their driver] on a road trip and the comedy that comes up because of lack of communication, |
I loved the story, the comedy and how emotional it becomes. It was also an opportunity to do something different to what I had done before. |
I really have the greatest time at these events because I am a fan first, I am a gamer, I am a film fan and a horror buff, so I am here as a fan as well as a kind of featured guest. |
I talk to Dom all the time, but he still won't tell me any of the good plot twists for next season's 'Lost.' |
I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world. |
I think there were a few things that really interested me. One was that I didn't know a lot about hooligan culture. I'd heard of football violence but I didn't quite understand how intense it really is, how organized it is, and more importantly, how these people aren't necessarily criminals or thugs in their daily life. They almost have this sort of double life. They're people with families and some of them have relatively good jobs. That fascinated me. And also the opportunity of being able to take a character from that kind of relatively innocent place to essentially making him a hooligan was very attractive to me. To explore a darker side of humanity that I'd not really explored in film before just as an actor was an interesting challenge. |
I watched the Lost series in the US and it's great. |
I'll play a character who is getting married to a woman to avoid the draft. Ultimately they fall in love with each other, but at first it's only out of practicality. |
I'm a fruit. |
I'm gonna keep it in the fridge. You know. Its a food item. |
I'm kind of insane when it comes to music, a little obsessed. |
