When I’m back in London, I like walking on Hampstead Heath, so I would say that’s where I feel most at home. Having played Marko in The Lost Boys and then John Polidori in Haunted Summer, have you been tempted to take on another vampire-related role? And was getting staked to death while you were sleeping a bit of a disappointing end for Marko – what would have been your preferred way of going out in style?
Death by stereo, perhaps? Finbarre and MoreorLesPaulI’d love to do another vampire movie. They’re interesting and great fun to play.
There are some really good vampire movies – I’m grateful I was in one that has, for some reason that none of us can figure out, really stood the test of time. And I love Marko’s death. As an actor, the first time you get staked is the most memorable.
Which Keanu Reeves was the most fun to work with: in Waiting for Godot on Broadway; as Ted “Theodore” Logan to your Bill S Preston, Esq in Bill & Ted; or as mutant Ortiz the Dog Boy when you directed him in Freaked? And following Waiting for Godot, what wildly inappropriate classic should Bill & Ted tackle next? FioreSebek and GunHarpI just love performing with Keanu.
The funny thing is we both play bass, so all through the first Bill & Ted, whenever we weren’t shooting, we’d be jamming. Keanu and I both have theatre backgrounds and have studied Shakespeare, so I’d like to do some Shakespeare, maybe something like Measure for Measure. There’s a few that we’ve discussed.
I’m not sure if we’ll get there, but who knows? My kids (six and nine) have just discovered Ben 10 in all its incarnations and I saw you directed the live-action versions. If you could choose the powers of any of the aliens in the Omnitrix, which would it be and why?
