In 'Deadwood,' it was just extremely unaesthetic. They actually put underarm merkins on and covered me with dirt!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I remember when 'Deadwood' had first come out, there was this whole deer-in-the-headlights sense of feeling really uncomfortable with being recognized in public.
When my agent told me I had an audition for 'Friar Tuck,' I burst out laughing. It actually brought a bit of sunshine to my day. I was thinking: fat suit. I was thinking: shaving my head. It was so outlandish, such a crazy idea.
I remember wearing overcoats, hiding in the bushes outside of Abbey Road Studios, waiting for the traffic to clear. As it did, we would drop our overcoats and run out on to the cross walk and strike our poses.
I didn't like the way it looked in white trousers, and I couldn't find anything to work underneath them.
When I was five, I discovered a secret box that contained Mummy's stage makeup. It was like finding buried treasure. I tried the rouge, the eye shadow, the lipstick. But I couldn't get the rouge off. Mummy spanked me terribly.
I used to dress up like Michael Jackson. I didn't have the glove, but I had a red jacket like in 'Thriller.'
I'd never worked in fashion or retail. I just needed an undergarment that didn't exist.
Bones inside clothes. That was war to me.
'Deadwood' was a magical experience. It was an absolute culmination of everything I've ever wanted to do as an actor as an artist, and I was enormously proud to have been involved with it.
'Deadwood' was an incredible experience.
