Rupert Evans
Rupert Evans Revs Things Up A Notch By Javier Espinoza The Wall Street Journal November 29, 2012 http://online.wsj.com The English actor talks to The Wall Street Journal about how he starts his weekend. Best known for his role as FBI agent John Myers in 2004's "Hellboy," Rupert Evans is also a veteran of period drama, appearing alongside Romola Garai in the BBC's "Emma" (2009) and with Sally Hawkins in the 2005 Victorian mystery "Fingersmith." In his latest endeavor, Mr. Evans plays Godwyn, a monk, in a TV adaptation of Ken Follett's medieval blockbuster "World Without End"; the eight-episode series premiered in Germany this week and begins in the U.K. in January. To prepare for his role, the 36-year-old actor learned about "the dynamics in a medieval village," he says. "I was interested in the workings of the village at that time and how people, in particular monks and priests, lived." When he isn't getting into character, Mr. Evans enjoys the cinema and a visit to his favorite flower market in London, where he lives. "I am quite active on the weekends," says the actor, who trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in the U.K. capital. "I always try to go to the cinema in the mornings, when it is quiet, if I can." How do you start your weekend? The first thing that I enjoy doing is getting on my motorbike and going for a ride. It always makes me very happy being on motorbike. It's a Honda CBF. It is a really good way of unwinding. I've driven from Central London down to Toulouse in two days. I stop in some villages, find a bar, get a sandwich and then I just carry on. I go through the Eurotunnel underneath the sea. Then I get to Calais and I just drive from Calais all the way down to the South of France. I am used to doing it on my own. I put my earphones in my ears and a bit of music. I can literally drive all day. How did you get into it? I worked in a pub in London when I was in drama college when I was training to be an actor. The guy who ran the pub had lots of motorbikes and I got into [it] because of him. Ever since then I've loved it. How else do you spend Friday night? I just have a pint in London and meet up with friends. I live in North London and there is a little pub called the Old Queen's Head in Islington where I go. I usually go there or the Duke of Cambridge, which is just behind it, and they have great organic food. I go there for an organic ale. That's my patch. What do you like about them? They are near me. It's about convenience and familiarity. It is lovely to feel a sense of community and have an area you know well. I spend a lot of time abroad, so when I get home is nice to have a place you know well. How do you spend Saturday morning? I love to go walking. I love Hampstead Heath and walking around there and popping in for a good coffee in Kenwood House, which was used in the film "Notting Hill." I often go to Hampstead because I love it out there. There is a great little coffee shop called Calendars, just around the corner from Hampstead Heath. So I often grab a coffee there and then go for a walk. What's your ideal Saturday night like? I am getting into cooking so my ideal Saturday night is actually to stay in and cook a really good meal. I am trying to perfect my prawn risotto. That's what I call my desert-island dish. How do you spend Sunday? I like to get up early on a Sunday morning and go to Columbia Road Flower Market. There is a great stand that does great coffee and bacon and egg rolls…. You have to get there early, though, before 9 o'clock, because afterward it gets full of tourists. I do that early, have a good coffee and then usually just pick up a newspaper and fill up with the local news. It seems you like to make the most of the weekend while there aren't many people around. Exactly. I am not very good with people. What would you like to do if you had more time? I would love to learn a language. I would love to go to a Spanish school and do a month's course in London, and then maybe go and travel around Spain. But I also love playing my ukulele and I would love to practice that more often as well in my spare time.

Jeremy Irvine
'How to Become a Star in 1 Easy Lesson': 'War Horse's' Jeremy Irvine (Q&A) By Stephen Galloway The Hollywood Reporter 12/29/2011 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com 14-pound weight gain, 20 rat co-stars, 15 texts from across the pond: The British newcomer reveals to THR details of his transition from a London stage to his big break in a Steven Spielberg epic. Jeremy Irvine, the 21-year-old star andacting newcomer from the Steven Spielberg-directed Disney film War Horse, spoke with The Hollywood Reporter's executive editor, features Stephen Galloway about his big break. The Hollywood Reporter: How did you get the part? Jeremy Irvine: Beforehand, I was in the chorus with the Royal Shakespeare Company, quite literally playing a tree. I hadn’t worked for a year, going off to audition after audition, and signed with a new agent after finishing with the RSC. I signed on a Friday night and went into the War Horse audition Tuesday morning. I had a couple of months of going in to audition two or three times a week, sometimes doing videotape and knowing it would be shown to Steven. I met Steven very, very late in the process. The weird thing was going on tape during the day, doing these situations, knowing it would be shown to Steven Spielberg in the evening! It was quite intense. I was getting called back so much it was astonishing and I never thought I’d get it. Then I got a call at about 8 p.m. or 9 p.m., saying, "Can you meet Steven for tea in a hotel in London tomorrow morning?" I did what any actor would do: I freaked out. I don’t think I slept most of that night. I went into this meeting and within about five minutes Steven and [producer] Kathleen Kennedy — we just sat having a chat. His greatest skill is his ability to put you at ease and make you very comfortable. You feel like you can make mistakes and that’s a perfect environment. THR: When did you learn you got the job? JI: It was all very secretive. I was at home building a go-kart for my brother and they asked me to come and tape and gave me a piece of script and said, "Steven wants this to be spontaneous and he wants you to just turn over the sides and start reading them to show you can do the accent." And I start turning over the sides in my agent’s office — and it was some fake script, and I’m just reading, "Steven Spielberg wants me to play Albert in War Horse!" I have the whole thing on tape. I was asked to wait and not tell anyone. I didn’t tell my friends and family for a few weeks. It’s amazing, when you have come from literally nothing to being offered a Steven Spielberg movie, it’s amazing what you can do! THR: Did you go through boot camp? JI: Not really. We got into it quite quickly, but we had two months of intense training with the horses and some came to us untrained because they were so young. I’d never ridden a horse before — and I had it really kicked into me by these horse masters. There’s a reason why John Wayne walks like he does! We all waddled around for two months before we got into it. I’d spend hours in the stable with this young horse until it became comfortable with me, then by the end we had it running around the fields, playing with me. They were some of the best moments. I thought, "I’ve never been an animal person. I’m not going to be a sucker for that and fall in love with the animal." And within a week I was as bleary-eyed as everyone else. THR: What was the hardest part of the shoot? JI: The stuff we filmed in the trenches: Steven was very keen to have as little CGI as possible — there’s only about three moments of CGI in the whole film, and that was for the safety of the horses. We’d be on the set and all these explosions that you see were real explosions going off; all the guns had ammunition. My rifle was a real rifle used in the First World War, and all the machine guns as well. There’s a scene with all the machine guns, and they were all real machine guns used in the real world. I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia. I got some nice souvenirs! THR: What did the battle scenes involve? JI: Long nights in soaking wet trenches up to our knees in mud and water. I would say for some of us they were the toughest in terms of just being physically and mentally exhausting. You are having to play that heightened emotion for a very long time. And what’s incredible is how heavy all your uniform and tackle gets. As soon as your big woolen uniform gets wet, the weight is unbelievable, and you'd be running across no-man's-land, right through the mud and dirt. There were sequences where explosions would take place next to me and three or four stuntmen would fly through the air — and then there'd be other scenes where you're just soaking wet. I got trench foot [a medical condition contracted through lengthy contact with dampness]. The soldiers used to get it all the time. And then there were the rats. They released about 20 rats — but there’s constant shouts of “Can someone get me a coffee?” But there were moments where I would be running off and explosions would be next to me and three or four stuntmen would fly through the air. I guess we spent about three or four weeks [in the trenches]. It was tough but also enjoyable. THR: Did it make you identify with real-life soldiers? JI: I don’t think any of us could even begin to say we could in any way relate to how they felt. That would be insulting. THR: Did you have a favorite scene? JI: One of my favorite scenes was one I’m not in, when they do this cavalry charge. This was my first film, so whenever I wasn’t filming I was going down to watch the other actors to desperately learn how to do it — and I remember watching this and they were doing this big cavalry charge and as they get close, they had about eight of these real, genuine machine guns and they just opened up — and to be there on the day was humbling and moving. THR: Was there anything bad about the experience? JI: They produce free food and the catering is amazing, and as an actor you stock up for a week, and I’m stuffing my face and they say, "Is there anything special you want?" I put on a stone [14 pounds] in three months! Then when the film came out, I’m thinking, “Great, all my friends are going to see me in this movie” — and I woke up and had about 15 texts, each one saying, "Jeremy, did you eat the bloody horse?!”

'Summer in February' - Dan Stevens right at home in another period romance By Hilary Busis Inside Movies April 12, 2013 http://insidemovies.ew.com No, Summer in February isn’t a lighthearted beach party movie set on the Australian coast — it’s a romantic drama set in England before the first world war, a time and place that star Dan Stevens knows all too well. The story, adapted by Jonathan Smith from his eponymous novel, centers on the real-life love triangle between young Alfred Munnings (Dominic Cooper) — an equine painter who would eventually find fame and knighthood — his friend Captain Gilbert Evans (Stevens), and his fellow artist Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning). Even though the film technically has nothing to do with Downton Abbey, the two seem to have plenty of similarities — expect lots of smoldering, longing looks, gorgeous costumes, and a tragic ending that may as well have been scripted by Julian Fellowes himself. (Are we absolutely certain he didn’t time travel here from 1914?) Summer in February hits theaters in the UK on June 14; a U.S. release date has not yet been announced.- David Giuntoli
