so much fun for Pace. “I remember the first week I was like, ‘Yeah we’re really acting now! We’re really getting Method on this one!’ he says. “And I was thrilled about doing it. But by the end of it I was truly depressed because [the crew] were all on one side of Capetown [South Africa] and I was at Camps Bay which is about 45 minutes away, just so I could walk around down there and no one would see me. So I didn’t have any friends in the crew, I just wasn’t doing anything. And also I was lying all day because people would be like ‘So Roy, how is it being a disabled actor?’ And I have to tell some big, stupid story about how difficult it is. It’s bad, it’s no fun lying to people every day.”
But the movie’s outcome was worth it. “I think it’s a good-hearted movie and it affirms life at the end and you don’t see that in many movies like that,” he says. “[Alexandria] wins. You’ve got these two forces that are very different. She’s absolutely innocent and she just wants to soak things in and she’s soaking the story in and he is at the end, he’s jaded, he’s self-involved and not able to extend himself and she forces him to, gets him on his track again.” Pace credits his director for his singular, uncompromising vision and artistic styles. “This is all Tarsem and it’s the kind of thing when I watch it, the more I watch it the more I’m able to see what he was doing and part of that I don’t know if he did it consciously,” he says. “I think he wanted to chase this image that he had in his head but I think it speaks of not only the loneliness of the characters that he has created—like that image of the carriage in the desert, the more I watch it the more I get this visual representation of loneliness, like real loneliness and real isolation and both of the characters in reality are feeling that and that’s how they create that image together.” Unlike Roy who is sad and broken-hearted, Pace’s character in the hit show Pushing Daisies has found his soulmate, albeit with some strange strings attached. The show is about an unassuming pie-maker with a complicated ability to bring the dead back to life. The premise essentially revolves around Ned and his childhood sweetheart Chuck (Anna Friel) whom he brings back from an untimely death. But their romance is halted by the fact that if Ned touches her again, she’ll die. The second season starts filming in July and Pace hints at what’s coming up. “There’s a whole story that’s going to open up with me and Chuck’s fathers,” he says. “Our fathers are going to be a big part of what happens in the first episode. And Olive [Kristin Chenoweth] is going to be in a nunnery. That’s gonna be really ... |
