My OperaFive minutes with Aldernak...
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 4:57:11 PM
What's it like being a recurring character?
Well, i don't really feel that the character itself recurs. I mean, i've been a struggling P.I., a demonic lord, a hapless boyfriend, a trapped tomb raider...not much common ground. I mean, i like varied roles but sometimes it gets a bit much, you know.
Do you really do your own stunts?
Almost always, unless there's a gun involved. We lost two stunt doubles doing Bang! before we got the shot to look right.
If you could be any of your characters, which would it be?
I'm rather fond of roles that put me in a position of power, especially Dread Lord Aldernak. The ability to have an underling killed at the merest whim...bliss. Sadly the worst i can do is sack my gardener.
There's been lots of press gossip about you and Sophie - what's the real story?
Depends on the script, surely? Sometimes it's all about love and peace, other times her appetites get the better of her...er, no comment.
What's your worst fear?
Er...this might sound a bit silly, but being replaced. Fortunately my ability to fit into most roles should mean my creator is less likely to get bored of me. It's important not to get typecast.
Can you tell us anything about your next project?
Only that it's a spoof of an old kids' tv show. I'm not revealing any more - that's what got Sideways Sam bumped off so quick.
Any final words for us?
Final? Hey, i'll be back here and you know it.

I don't suppose you'll release an unabridged version at some point? The version with all the details that were supposed to be off the record?

An old kid's tv-show, eh? I hope it's something I'll recognize...

Also ... I think 'Aldernak' should be a verb of some sort, though for what, I don't know ...

A verb? Hmmm....the conjugations are a bit ugly
