I Play Saxophone, I Play Tenor Sax.

(the) Process Of Acting Is No Different To Conventional Screen Acting, In That It's Providing A Perfect Interface Between The Director And The Performer. So There's No Sort Of Long Way Around A Viral Committee Of Animators.

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.

Caesar [from The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes] Was Brought Up With Human Beings And Because Of The Drug He Had Pretty Much Grown Up With His Whole Life, He Felt Like An Outsider, He Felt Trapped In An Ape's Body But He Didn't Really Feel Like An Ape And That Was My Way Into The Character. So He's Always Had This Duality Playing Him From An Infant All The Way To Now As A Fifty-five Year Old Ape.

At The Moment, My Trajectory Isn't To Think About Acting. I'm Absolutely Devoted To The Imaginarium, Our Projects And Directing. And Watching And Enabling Other Actors Do Their Thing In Our Studio Is Hugely Rewarding. I Expect At Some Point I'll Probably Want To Go Back On Stage And Do Some Theater, Because I've Not Done Theater In 10 Years.

When I First Was Offered The Role On Rise [of The Planet Of The Apes], I Always Played Caesar As A Human Being Within Ape Skin.
