So, you're playing a murderous giant?
They called me murderous? Wow. Okay.
Hey, that's what the press release said.
Well, I did a looping session for the giant, and it was basically all growls.
But we'll be seeing you, not just hearing you, right?
It's me.They CGI most of the set, so I had to work in a studio completely done in green screen and act against little pieces of tape and dowels, but it's me, you definitely see my face. I don't look entirely like myself, though; I'm in costume.
Since you're working against a green screen, I guess that's to make you look giant-sized?
Yeah. The perspective is different, because they want me to look like I'm six times the size of everyone else.
The creators of "Lost" created the Hurley character just for you. It seems like something similar happened here.
["Once Upon A Time" creators] Eddie [Kitsis] and Adam [Horowitz], they were always the keepers of the Hurley stories [on "Lost."]. They wrote most of the scripts about Hurley, so for a while we've been talking about working together again, and how they wanted to bring me in for "Once." I wasn't available last year because I was working on another show, but they pitched the giant story this year and they gave me a little bit of background about his origin, which will be something to do in a later story.
