found the natives pretty uninterested. “People more just wanna get home and want you to get the F outta their way! So they don’t really care who's shooting, they just want you out of the way… and now.”

For those of you not in the know (as I was before seeing the movie) Anamorphosis is a drawing presenting a distorted image that appears in natural form under certain conditions, as when viewed at a raking angle or reflected from a curved mirror. So basically, it’s looking at the same thing from different angles but seeing something different from those angles, and when you think about it that’s what an actor goes through when presented with a new role. “Yeah I guess it’s much more of an instinctual thing but yeah that’s exactly true,” he agrees. “When you get something that you really like, you have to look at from different perspectives to find something creative in it, something that inspires you to do it. When I first get something I really like it hits me a certain way but in the weeks and weeks that follow it changes and morphs and that’s what’s interesting about it for sure.”

But did he know what it was before reading the script? “Ummm…. No,” he laughs. “I mean I get it to a certain point, perspective anamorphic lenses all that stuff, but save those questions for the director,” he jokes.

Like most of the most successful actors working today Scott enjoys a healthy balance between the paycheck blockbuster films and the smaller more artistic indies but which does he really prefer working on? “Well, they’re all fun,” he admits. “Doing something like the Underworld series is fun. Being like a little kid getting to run around, jump around and do fight sequences, that’s a blast! It’s exhausting physically but it’s a blast. And something like this is more fun on an acting level just getting to work with someone like Willem Dafoe in a serious capacity is amazing. Every job has its own challenges and its own fun. I like doing big movies too. Usually these smaller movies are about things that I care about more but everything is fun. I’m not a guy that has a huge amount of choices and has like a hundred movies I can choose between so I try to find the fun in the stuff I get to do.”

So what is up next for Scott? Believe it or not possibly a little vacation time. “It feels really slow with the strike and there’s a potential actors strike now and so all the studio stuff is really slow. And competition is always crazy to get a really good movie and I don’t wanna do stuff that I don’t really wanna do right now so just trying to find something. Maybe I’ll go traveling, run around little bit and be normal. That’s probably what I’ll do.”

Before packing his bags Scott does have a couple more projects hitting theaters ...
