I've always had a crush on Andrew Garfield, from my first time seeing him in a Doctor Who episode. I thought he did a pretty okay spider man as well. He recently talked about his theatre acting, movies, his upcoming "Hacksaw Ridge' and a surprise return to the live stage.
From playing an Internet entrepreneur or a real estate fraud to personifying the latest Spiderman, the British-American actor Andrew Garfield has shown no limits to his gritty, sensitive and street smart on-screen persona. Originally a theatre actor, his graduation to the silver screen over a decade ago has seen his transatlantic, cerebral allure shine in a slew of mainstream and avant-garde roles that have pushed his physical and mental limits. Few ro- les, however, have touched upon his own sense
of social responsibility and commitment than his latest film, Hacksaw Ridge – the true story of American 2nd World War hero Desmond Doss whose pacifist tendencies saw him emerge from the battle of Okinawa as a celebrated hero and a peaceful warrior. After presenting the American drama 99 Homes with co-star Laura Dern in 2014, Garfield returns to the Ve- nice Film Festival with Hacksaw Ridge this autumn – and he is “more excited than ever”. vogue.it
You can head over to the Vogue Italy website and read the entire interview. One of the more interesting responses was what Garfield is planning on doing next.
L’U.V.: And what is next?
A.G.: Later in the year I will start rehearsing for Tony Kushner’s piece Angels in America that will play at the Royal National Theatre in London, directed by Marianne Elliot with a really exciting cast of co-stars like Nathan Lane, Denise Gough, and Russell Tovey.
Sounds like an amazing cast and of course a great subject!
We look forward to it! Best of … I mean break a leg!
