SWCP: Fale-nos um pouco acerca do seu trabalho na série “ A Guerra dos
tronos”.
SWCP:
Tem participado em várias convenções/Comic Cons.Como tem sido a sua interação
com os fãs?
B.L.H: Eu era um grande fã dos livros originais, por isso, em todas as
convenções de banda desenhada a que fui, passei muito tempo a discutir teorias
e possibilidades para um final da série de televisão que o autor original ainda
não tinha escrito. Quase todos os fãs da série tinham um desejo ou uma ideia
diferente sobre como a série deveria terminar. Foi um enorme prazer conversar
sobre isso e partilhar algumas das minhas próprias teorias.
SWCP: Interpretou alguns papéis em filmes e séries televisivas de ficção
científica como Offworld: Alien Planet, Narcopolis e Extinction.É um fã desta
temática?Gosta de Star Wars?
B.L.H: A minha primeira experiência no cinema foi com os filmes originais de Star Wars. Fui um grande colecionador das figuras e dos brinquedos, por isso, sim... Star Wars é uma das minhas grandes paixões. O meu filme clássico de ficção científica preferido é, na verdade, Flash Gordon, com o Sam Jones e o Brian Blessed.
SWCP:
Em que projetos está atualmente a trabalhar?
B.L.H:
De momento, estou sujeito a um acordo de confidencialidade, mas ainda este ano
irão ver-me no elenco principal de uma grande série histórica na televisão
digital.
SWCP:
Tendo trabalhado com alguns renomados realizadores e actores, recorda-se de
alguma situação engraçada ou incomum que tenha ocorrido durante as filmagens?
B.L.H:
Tenho de ser sincero, já trabalhei com o Richard Brake (o Rei da Noite) em
vários projetos. Fizemos uma série de televisão com o Kurt Sutter juntos pouco
tempo depois de filmarmos Game of Thrones. Era difícil vê-lo como outra coisa
que não fosse o Rei da Noite, porque ele era tão bom nesse papel... Todos os
dias, no set, eu costumava sussurrar-lhe: "O inverno está a chegar".
O Richard sorria e dizia: "É a série errada, querido"!
SWCP:
Que mensagem gostaria de enviar aos seus fãs?
B.L.H:
Aproveitem a vida, ela é curta e imprevisível… aproveitem todas as
oportunidades que puderem para rir, amar e ser feliz.
ENGLISH VERSION:
Ross O'Hennessy is a Welsh actor who has appeared in
various films and television series such as: Da Vinci's
Demons, The Bastard Executioner, The Lost Viking, Game of Thrones (Lord
of Bones), among many others.
SWCP: Tell us a bit more about
your work on the iconic TV show, “Game of Thrones”.
B.L.H: I took
over the role of The Lord of Bones, so my first point of call was to watch how
the previous actor had played the role. I then went to the books to read and
see how the original author had envisaged the character and finally it was to
chat to producers and the director to gain as much understanding as possible.
The role was very iconic and so there were a lot of quite tight guide lines and
needs from the production team. It was a wonderful opportunity and I really
enjoyed bringing the character to life... even if his death was very different
to the original books.
SWCP: You’ve taken part in various conventions and
Comic-Cons. How has your interaction with fans been?
B.L.H: I was quite a fan of the original books, so at
all the comic cons that I attended, I spent a lot of time discussing theories
and options for an ending story to the TV show that the original author had not
yet written. Almost every fan of the show had a different wish or desire on how
the show should end. It was immense pleasure to chat about these and the
discuss a few theories of my own.
SWCP: You’ve played roles in science fiction films and
TV series such as Offworld:
Alien Planet, Narcopolis e Extinction.Are you a fan of this genre?Do you like
Star Wars?
B.L.H: My first ever cinema experience were the
original Star Wars films. I was a huge collector of the figures and toys so
yes... Stay Wars is a big love of mine. My favourite classic science fiction
film is actually FLASH GORDON with Sam Jones and Brian Blessed.
SWCP: What projects are you currently working on?
B.L.H: I am under a non-disclosure agreement currently
but later this year you will see me in the main cast of a huge historical drama
on digital TV.
SWCP: Having worked with some renowned directors and
actors, do you remember any funny or unusual situations that occurred during
filming?
B.L.H: have to be honest, I've worked with Richard
Brake (the Night King) on quite a few projects. We did a Kurt Sutter TV show together
quite soon after filming Game of Thrones. It was hard to see him as anything
other than The Night King because he was so damn good at it... on set every day
I used to whisper to him ' winter is coming.' Richard would smile and say '
wrong show love.
SWCP: What message would you like to send to your
fans?
B.L.H: Enjoy life, it is short and unpredictable...
grab every chance you can to laugh, love and be happy.
