The Thing About Hitchcock Which Is Quite

Hitchcock Is A Big Ask. I Am Playing Someone Significantly Older Than Me And Someone Significantly Bigger Than Me. The Stuff I Find Very Interesting Is Why Certain Physical Things Have Come About. How Can He Be Light On His Feet When He Is So Big? How Can His Weight Vary So Much? Where Does This Rather Beautiful Voice Come From?

Hitchcock's Got A Very Interesting Voice; It's A Very Controlled, Measured Rhythm That's Quite Slow And, In That Sense, Also Felt Quite Controlling In Its Pace. He Retained Something From His Childhood, That London Sound, As Well As Adopting Some Of The L.a. Sounds... All Of This Helps You Create The Character.

The Prosthetics Were Interesting Because The Artist Was So Good That They Could Just Put A Hitchcock Mask On Me, But You Don't Want To Do That. You're An Actor Playing Hitchcock, So It's About How Much Of That You're Going To Do.

There Are Things That I Would Avoid, So I Have The Choice To Say No, When I Feel I'm Repeating Myself Too Much. But Then There Could Be A Reason To Do That With A Good Director. So I Think Actors Have To Have A Loose Philosophy.

There's Not A Huge Pile Of Scripts At Home. It's What Happens To Be On The Table At That Moment With Your Availability. And Then You Have No Control Over When These Things Come Out.
