What You Can Do With Visual Effects

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.

I Have A Great Interest In Victorian Musical & Cabaret Performances And Weimar Artists So The References Are There, To Cabaret And Also All That Jazz And Other Films Where, Where There's A Kind Of (influential German Playwright Bertolt) Brecht-ian Approach, Almost To The Character Standing Outside Of Himself Or, In This Case, He's "self-séance-ing."

35mm Film Isn't Ticking Away So It's Subconscious - Performances Are Allowed To Breathe In A Much More Real Way I Think.

I Love Acting And Certainly Won't Give It Up, But It's Part Of A Bigger Canvas For Me Now.

I Think What Traditional Studios Probably Don't Understand Is That It's A Genuine Advancement In The Actor's Tradition. And You Know, The Tradition And Craft Of Acting. And It's The Latest Step. You Know, We, We Tend To Find Forms Of Delivering Stories That Fit Our Times.
