EXCERPT:
RA:What have I been doing recently? Oh god I can’t talk about it because it might happen as a potential job! But there’s a novel I’ve been reading...and then you read then novel, then you read the social comment on the novel that was written at the time, then you start looking at their other work. Now you’re going from battling flying dragons to twisters in Black Sky, so what can we see you in next?
RA:After Black Sky? Oh I wish I could tell you. Every script that I’ve read has got a book attached, and I think I’ve read five books. So I just need to steal your Kindle, is what you’re saying?
RA:(Laughs) You just need to steal my Kindle. There are some big scale projects, and then one incredibly charming book that I love so much. But I don’t have anything confirmed, so I’m going to keep my fingers crossed. That’s interesting, how do you go about selecting roles? Is it different after The Hobbit?
RA:It’s not as easy as people think. My job at the moment is to convince people that I’m not 5 foot 2 and hairy. (Laughs) But I suppose the priority for me at the moment is to try not to repeat myself, and also to really focus on how I want to stretch myself, and what kind of directors I’d like to work with. So that’s been the focus. So Thorin has opened doors then?
RA:A little bit, yeah, but I’m now swimming in a much bigger pond, you know. I’m going up for roles that are going to big actors, big actors! And I’m in my forties and those big actors have got big CVs. But hopefully I’ll win one of those roles that I love so much.
