The Scotsman recently conducted an
interview with
Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) in which he talks about his experiences of being in '
Philsopher's Stone' and '
Chamber of Secrets' and what he thought of his character being cut from '
Prisoner of Azkaban'.
Quote:
And don’t ask the youthful-looking 21-year-old to smile for a photo, he likes the mean and moody look.
Thoughtful and witty, the quirky actor approaches interviews with a detached bafflement, giving the impression he has yet to suss out why anyone would want to write about him although he’s aware that they do.
Quote:
"I’d heard of the books of course. I read the first one on the way to the audition and I loved it. But being a kids’ movie I just thought it might be quite big as kids’ movies go. I had no concept of how it would grow over the course of the production," Biggerstaff says.
"Every now and again I have to check myself - it’s strange to remember that you were in what was, at the time, the second biggest movie ever at the box office."
Quote:
"I get a lot of condolences from people (about PoA) but I wasn’t all that bothered - that’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy doing it. But in this line of work if you don’t want to end up a quivering wreck you have to discipline yourself into not getting upset about things."
Quote:
His first experience of filming came at age 13 when he was cast in The Winter Guest, another piece by Sharman Macdonald, directed by Alan (Professor Severus Snape) Rickman.
"You take everything in your stride at 13, it doesn’t occur to you how big a deal things are, but Alan’s been great ever since. We still keep in touch."
