Great Interview with ‘The Great Pretender’
“Something that I’m always drawn to, especially with what Peter Morgan writes, is the idea of someone who has a very public image, or has something going on at the surface, and underneath there’s something very different. So, I tend to play – in Peter’s scripts – characters who seem on the surface to be very charming, to have great facility, great confidence and to be ambitious, but underneath there’s a kind of insecurity and anxiety and something very different going on.”

Real-life Soccer Talent
“I was really obsessed by football growing up. And I wanted to be a football player and I was offered an apprenticeship, when I was 12, to go and play with the Arsenal youth team and come through their ranks, but it would have meant living in London when I was a kid and I came from a small town in Wales and my mom and dad said, ‘No, you’re not doing that.’ So I never went. And then by the time I was 14 I had discovered girls and nicotine and then the game was up for me then. But I’ve always loved football. So this was a challenge for my two passions to come together.”

Tron: Legacy Role
Michael revealed exclusively to ComingSoon.net that he will in fact be playing a nightclub host in the Tron world…
“That was amazing, because there’s a lot of green screen in that,” he told us, “But my stuff was mainly in this amazing set that they built because I’m a nightclub host, so they built the nightclub and there were hundreds of extras and it was one of those great scenes where there’s just loads going on.”
