DreamWatch posted a new interview with actor Malcolm McDowell, better know to Star Trek fans as Soran, the man who killed Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek Generations. McDowell now plays Mr Linderman in Heroes and Dr Loomis in the forthcoming remake of Halloween. Here are few excerpts from the interview.
Your role as Mr Linderman in Heroes is the latest in a long line of McDowell villains. Deep down, is there perhaps a little bit of evil inside you?
Any part you play always has a little bit of yourself in it, and of course I have a bit of the devil in me. Doesn't everyone? I just get paid to have fun with it! I enjoy it very much, and it's great fun getting to do away with Captain Kirk and so on. He'd had a good run! With this part particularly, the word ‘relish' comes to mind. The wonderful scenes I have with Adrian [Pasdar] were a pleasure, and I had a great time doing it. But listen, I don't only play heavies. I suppose it's just what I'm best known for.
What other projects are you working on at the moment?
I'm in London doing a movie called Doomsday with [DS9 actor] Alexander Siddig, who is my nephew and a very good actor. He told me they wanted me to do it, so I did. Next, I'm on my way to the Cannes Film Festival to show my tribute to the great director Lindsay Anderson, who was very important in my life, and a man I loved dearly. I can't believe they invited me to show it at Cannes. It's absolutely extraordinary for me, but there you are.
I'm also in a miniseries of War and Peace as Prince Bolkonsky, which is a wonderful part. I've no idea when that will be shown in the States, but they're going to screen it right through the night in Rome, the whole nine hours of it. It's a big Euro-pudding, with seven or eight countries involved. I've seen quite a bit of it and it's really quite wonderful. I do most of my scenes with Brenda Blethyn, who's terrific. I think it's quite a remarkable event and a beautiful production.
