Ryan Robbins Interview (possible season 2 spoiler)
http://www.gateworld.net/interviews/the_man_to_call.shtml
Ryan Robbins interview on Gateworld. Fun guy, seems like. Spends the start of the interview plugging his favorite coffee shop, drops a Spiderman reference, discusses beating the crap out of Gaius Baltar and Ladon’s true loyalties, lots on Indy films -- including the fact that he plays Charles Manson in an upcoming film that I must see. And his take on Character Acting:
“It’s fulfilling. Yeah, I’m trying to find a way to actually become a werewolf but it’s hard to find real ones. You go online, Craig’s List, wherever ‘werewolf’ and you just get statues. It’s boring. I just need to get some scratch-marks, just to know what it’s like!”
Plus, possibly, an accidental spoiler
Ryan: (the werewolf shown in the episode “Edward”) “that’s just Edward’s interpretation of Henry’s beast. So when we do see Henry as a werewolf, it’ll be different still.”
Interviewer: “When we do? Little nugget there…”
Ryan: *laughs* “Um, if we do see him?” *looks away*
And he wraps things up by discussing how bruised up he got filming the escape-scene in “Revelations”.
Oh, and I may not be alone in my Druitt/Watson leanings. Well, okay, so I probably am, lol, but he at least acknowledges how insanely emotional those scenes were
“Last season when there were scenes with Christopher Heyerdahl and Peter Wingfield and Jonathon Young. Robin Dunne and I would go and sit and watch. Because for me, those guys are heavyweights. Those guys are unbelievable actors. There was scene between ... A Druitt and Watson scene -- Peter Wingfield and Christopher Heyerdahl -- Robin and I were just watching and we were saying "Man, these guys are awesome, so good!"”
And about Jonathan Young (who apparently has been playing Tesla on-stage for some years now) “He tells his theater friends now ‘Yeah, you know Tesla didn’t really die. He just went underground and became a vampire.’”
Okay, that got long-winded. Guess what I’m trying to say is that Ryan Robbins is every bit as funny and flaky as Henry Foss and I just love him to death (which I try not to do with actors as opposed to characters, so if I start getting out-of-line in my fangirlishness, I expect one of you to whack me upside the head).
