I Never Felt Totally, 100%, Patriotically English...

I Play Saxophone, I Play Tenor Sax.

I Don't See A Difference Between Playing A Performance Capture Role And A Live Action Role, They're Just Characters To Me At The End Of The Day And I'm An Actor Who Wants To Explore Those Characters In Fantastically Written Scripts. The Only Caveat Is A Good Story Is A Good Character.

It's A Different Rhythm Than Most Movies. For A Lot Of The Actors, You're 12,000 Miles Away From Home. It Becomes A Way Of Life - Getting Up At Five In The Morning, Shooting Every Day, Day In Day Out, For 270 Days. The New Cast Playing The Dwarves Were Carrying Incredibly Heavy Weights In Their Suits, They Sat Through Hours Of Make-up Every Day. So It's Quite Challenging From A Stamina Point Of View.

There Is Always That Potential In The Same Way - Roddy Mcdowall Ended Up Playing Cornelius To Caesar [in The Planet Of The Apes]. Two Different Characters. That's The Joy Of The Craft. Bring It On I Say.

Basically We're Puppeteers And If You're There And You're In The Character, The Puppet Is Going To Look Good. It's Going To Breath Life And I Think Once They Find Out How To Trust This System, You Just Forget About It And Just Perform, Then It's Just Second Nature, It Just Becomes Easy.
