What is your favourite role to play out of all the shows? A. Coriolanus, because we do it in such depths. Q. Out of the shows you have done which is your favourite and why? A. I like them all! In the bible I get to be the mother of Jesus. America is just so witty and Shakespeare made me want to be with these guys! I love them all!! Q. What is a nice guy such as yourself doing with a crowd like the RSC? A. Community Service. Q. Have you always wanted to be an actor or did you want to be a fireman at the age of 4? A. I wanted to be a milk churn at the age of four. From five I wanted to be a jedi, but then they told me that if I was an actor I would get to spend more time in the pub. Q. What do you do before a show? A. Pick my nose. Pray to Buffy. Always have a pee and check my fly. Q. Do you get any fanmail? Anything interesting? A. I don't very often, and if there is, its hardly ever interesting. Q. Do you have any strange or funny talents? A. Apart from the splits....err, let me think....star wars......I can roll my tongue. Q. Have you ever been unable to stop laughing while performing? What did you do? A. There has been a couple. One I can remember. There was Ophelia on the stage just before the "Get thee to a nunnery" speech. So we told her about the scream and we shouted get thee to a nunnery and the woman just replied "I'm Jewish". Perfect comic timing. Took me a while to settle down. Adam wasn't happy with me. Q. If you could be a vegetable what would you be? A. A beetroot. When I was at school diong plays, I was a senior and you had the job of looking after the younger kids in the chorus. They just decided I was a beetroot and started calling me that. So embarrassing! Q. In your opinion which way should toilet roll be fed? A. It shouldn't be hung up! It should be FREE! Take it off the wall... SET YOUR BOG ROLL FREE!!! Q. If you discovered a planet what would you name it and why? A. Virgilia. In reference to Coriolanus of course. Q. Do you have any bad habits? Do any other RSC members have any you hate? A. Do I? You would have to ask the others. In my opinion I am the best thing since sliced bread. Although sliced bread isn't that funny on stage. As for the others. Kyle has a bad habit. He is too funny next to me and he should stop it. John is too charismatic and Mikey plays the guitar too well. It makes me look bad. Q. Have you anything to say to your fans? A. Thank you for coming and keeping us in work. Thanks for putting up with us. Star Wars rules! Q. How much do you really know about Shakespeare? A. More than some, less than others. Less than his mother. Less than himself. Less than David Starky. More than the ant crawling across my foot. P.S Sorry this isn't funny. I did this over the phone with Lauren and didn't have enough time to think about the answers. I will be back covering for Mikey from 12 - 26th July. Richard x |
