Alex O’Loughlin interview at If Magazine
This is a really terrific interview at If Magazine with Alex O’Loughlin.
iF: What about Mick made you want to play this character?
O’LOUGHLIN: I really like his humor and that was the first thing that came off the page. First of all as an actor, you read scripts everyday and you read people’s interpretations of characters everyday, and some are more filled out than others and some are one-dimensional. Some characters speak to you more than others do. This character; I got him, I understood his motivations and his passions and why he is conflicted and why he thought was funny was funny. I just got him right away. I guess it all boils down to empathy. I had empathy for him and thought I could understand him so I thought I could justifiably play him.
One of the things I really like about Alex is that he’s really opinionated without being aggressively so. And he definitely has a healthy respect for his own capabilities. Most of the actors I really like have strong egos (Russell Crowe being a case in point), but Alex’s ego is nicely tempered by his friendly and gregarious personality.
He also strikes me as very bright and inquisitive, another favored trait *g*
