I Love Life. I'm Fascinated By Human

I Love Life. I'm Fascinated By Human Behavior Because That Feeds Back Into My Work.

Merlin Is Really At The Forefront, In That Regard. We Get A Glimpse Into The Dark, Machiavellian Corridors Of Power. I Like The Fact That, Although He Has Powers, His Powers Are Almost In His Political Guile As Much As What He Relies On, In Darker Forces.

He [merlin] Is Slightly From Another World And Place, So It [challenge In Bringing The Role To Life] Is About Having Fun And Presenting It In A New Way. He's More Of A Politician, And Slightly Machiavellian, But There's Also A Lovely Relationship Going On Between Merlin And Arthur. There's So Much To Be Had, Really.

I Also Wanted To Have Fun With It. I Wanted To Have The Scope, Which I Felt Merlin Has, In His Machiavellian Bi-polar Way. He's Not To Be Trusted, Yet He Is Fighting For This Great Power And Is Really A Master, To Some Degree, In Orchestrating Camelot And King Arthur. He's A Strange, Dark Devious Character, And I Just Wanted To Have Fun, And Get Away From The Cloak And Long Beard And Pointy Hat.

The Great Thing About Films Is That You Have Access To This Whole World Of Experts Who Teach You The Skills Your Character's Supposed To Have.
