Favourite Actor: My favourite actor, hands down is Geoffrey Rush. He is absurdly talented, and has never given a performance that i have considered less than outstanding. For any non-believers out there; watch the film
Quills. He will blow your mind!
Favourite Actress: I think in this case Kate Winslet takes the cake. I have always enjoyed watching her work and i believe that there is no other Hollywood actress out there quite like her in screen presence and ability. Coincidentally she also stars in
Quills.
Favourite Plays:
The Laramie Projectby Moises Kaufman is my absolute favourite. The script and the true story that it tells are both extraordinary and tragic and i don’t think any other play has moved me quite like it. I am also a big fan of anything written by Debbie Tucker Green.
Favourite Films (in no particular order): 127 Hours,
Blood Diamond,
The Departed, Animal Kingdom, Kick Ass,
Hot Fuzz and
Quills(Notice a pattern here?)
Favourite TV Programs & Character:
Rome,
The Sopranos,
Weeds,
Breaking Bad,
Dexter,
Jeeves and Wooster, The Big Bang Theory. My favourite character would have to be
Titus Pullo from
Rome, a very complex character played brilliantly by Ray Stevenson.
Favourite line of dialogue: “
Want anything from the shop?” “Cornetto.” From Shaun of the Dead and
Hot Fuzz
Experience of being in TO BE: Working on
TO BE was a joy! I love performing Shakespeare and it has been wonderful to have the oppurtunity to do so on film, let alone perform the most recognisable words, i think, in the world. The crew have been professional, flexible and perhaps most significantly, punctual. Nothing is worse than waiting around on set for no reason and not once have i felt this was the case, which is definately a first for me. I cannot stress enough how much I have enjoyed the experience and I cannot wait to see the finished product.
Patrick is currently performing in atyp’s production of
ANIMAL FARM.
