35mm Film Isn't Ticking Away

Not A Day Goes By Where I'm Not Reminded Of Gollum By Some Person In The Street Who Asks Me To Do His Voice Or Wants To Talk To Me About Him. But Because 'the Hobbit' Has Been Talked About As A Project For Many Years, I Knew That At Some Point I'd Have To Reengage With Him.

I Mean, In Many Ways, You Know, I Felt Very Connected To Ian (dury) On, On A Lot Of Levels. I Mean, Politically, & Sort Of, Socially, Our, Kind Of, Social Backgrounds Are Quite Similar In Many Ways, As Well As Our Kind Of Artistic Endeavors. So There Were Many, Many Things That Sort Of Chimed In For Me, And Kind Of Made Me Feel Very Instinctive About Playing Him, And, And Although, There Was Sort Of A Certain Amount Of Impression Involved, Actually, There's A Lot Of Myself In The Role.

Working From Home Is So, So Hard Because I Want To Be Present For Them And Yet There's So Much To Do Work-wise. That's The Biggest Challenge For Me.

I Love Playing Real Characters... If They're Not Around Anymore It's Helpful Because You Won't Get Sued! But There's So Much Research Involved And I Love That Part Of The Process.

I Love Acting And Certainly Won't Give It Up, But It's Part Of A Bigger Canvas For Me Now.
