Milton lass und Andromeda: Eine wirklich gute Transkription. Ich habe mir das Interview auch noch einige Malen angehört und ich glaube ich kann einige ???? erklären. Aber, mann, kan er schnell reden!:
NR: Tell us about your character. You play a pretty nasty piece of work, don't you?
RA: Yeah, I play Guy of Gisborne who is the Sheriff of Nottingham's right-hand-man. He is a sadistic lieutenant as described by Dominic's original draft. He is a dispossessed lord from the Norman conquest with a huge appetite for money, power, title, land. He'd been babysitting Robin Hood's land and title while he's been away in the Holy Land and Robin comes back and wants his… you know, wants to move back into his house. So Gisborne then has to deal with the prospect of, you know, losing everything that he had achieved. So, yeah, that's the starting point for our story.
NR: And how evil do you get to be ? Because of course you've got the Sheriff of Nottingham who is the ultimate baddie.
RA: Yeah
NR: So do you get to be only moderately evil or just quite nasty or sarcastic?
RA: I get to dish out a lot of the Sheriffs wishes and whims. And that extends to quite a domestic relationship between Gisborne and the Sheriff as well. And also I've got, Giborne's got his own agenda. So, you know, while he's doing the Sheriffs bidding he's also kind of working on his own kind of little empire, that includes Marian, you know, his own kind of drive towards Marian is very high on his list.
NR: Tell us about the tooth incident. You assaulted one of your fellow workers, one of your fellow actors.
RA: It was Keith's round, right, it was his turn to buy the beer and he would not do it. So I just took his teeth out. No, it was something... I think I kind of knocked him with my sword, you know, in a moment, where we were, we were working with some 4 ninja women from the Holy Land. And it was a moment when the room was filled with smoke and I just took my opportunity to whack him in the face. It was great! He deserved it!
NR: It looks incredibly painful. He showed us kind of a gap where his tooth should be.
RA: Yeah, he's got a selection of new teeth coming though in various materials. I think he's got a black leather tooth coming, a diamond studded tooth, gold, yeah.
NR: But it does kind of underline this how much effort physically you have to put into it. How hard was it like that?
RA: Initially you don't think it's going to be that difficult, because you get trained in everything. But, you know, every actor has that moment where they go for it, in a take, and you give everything you've got and it really exhausts you, especially when you're on a horse as well, because the horse has got a mind of its own, and it's very sensitive to your voice and the way your body's reacting, so it can be quite tricky, yeah.
NR: What was the best part for you? What do you look back on from the whole, from the filming you've done so far. Actually, that's one of a time... (?)
RA: Working with Keith Allen. Without a doubt. That… ah… I mean he's such a sensitive soft man inside, yeah, compared to the steely kind of hellraiser exterior he kind of pretend to be inside. He's just a lovely, a lovely guy, and very, very funny, so you know, on the best moment.
NR: Keith Allen?
RA: Working with the horses, working with the gang, being there in Budapest, you know, being part of a family, working on a piece of something which is growing from the very beginning, something that's been tailored around all the actors, you know.
NR: What do you think is the attraction of Robin Hood, what scenes do you have that still work after all these years it has been around.
RA: I think the desire to have a benevolent figure that is going to save us all is there in… in our culture. It is a mythical figure, I think it's based on somebody real. But it's a fantasy figure but we're trying not to play into the kind of complete fantasy. We try to make him human and I think we've all got it in us. We've all got the desire to see somebody come along and say: Hang on a minute, hold their hand up in the middle of an oppressive regime and say: Wait a minute. What about this? What about that? And answers questions and tries to solve them without violence. This is kind of what he does.
NR: Well, you say, you're kind of the Sheriff's right-hand-man, you got of kind to dish out his orders. In whatever way you see fit. What kind of things do you get to do as the Sheriff's sidekick?
RA: I got to paint his toe nails which Gisborne finds very satisfying. I got to feed his birds.
