The Whole Chameleon Thing About

But That's Not What An Actor Does. An Actor Finds Things In The Moment With A Director And Other Actors That You Don't Have Time To Hand-draw Or Animate With A Computer.

Originally When I Went Off To Work On 'the Lord Of The Rings' I Got A Call From My Agent Saying That I Was Just Going To Do A Voice. But I Couldn't Really Approach It Like That. To Get Gollum's Voice I Had To Play The Character.

My Belief About Performance Capture Is That It's A Technology Which Allows Actors To Play Extraordinary Characters. But From An Acting Perspective, I've Never Drawn A Distinction Between Playing A Conventional, Live Action Character And Playing A Role In A Performance Capture Suit. And From A Purely Acting Point-of-view, I Don't Believe There Should Be A Special Oscar Category Because I Think It Sort Of Muddies The Waters In A Way.

In A Personal Way, To Do With Family And The Father-son Relationship, In A Kind Of Artistic Way With Regard To Him Being An Art Student. I Also Studied The Visual Arts At Lancaster University. I Then Decided To Become An Actor As He Was Becoming A Musician. And Then As An Actor/performer, We Have Similar Sort Of Interests - Music Hall And That Whole World. So, There's A Lot That I Felt Connected With.

Be Magnificent. Life’s Short. Get Out There. You Can Do It. Everyone Can Do It. Everyone.
