so we know you have your hand in so many different projects I've been told we can't talk about or ask you directly about Star Wars I won't say the S word but maybe can you tell us about your experience working with that with that yeah I mean it's been an amazing franchise to be part of you know first starting with JJ and then now with Lauren Johnson who's made an incredible film and and again another really challenging character to play you know without saying too much about him he is he is a ezel he's both he's strong with the force he's strong with the dark side of the force obviously but he is also a deeply wounded character and and there's a lot of venom that he feels towards the resistance so without giving too much away that's a little sort of snapshot ya know I mean and and and evolving these characters is is really it's very exciting as an actor too and I realized this sort of almost at the end of Lord of the Rings when Peter Jackson asked me to play King Kong here was now a technology that allowed an actor to play anything that you could go off into all of these you know previously unactive all roles because of the know the scale of a character like King Kong being a 25-foot gorilla or or or or the extreme you know the the emaciated thin lengthy skeletal kind of figure that Snoke is for instance or the three and a half foot wiry Gollum you know that suddenly it doesn't matter what kind of what your shape as an actor is or how old you are or or or what the color of your skin is or what sex you are you can you can now climb into any of these characters and that's that has been I suppose the most thrilling philosophically as an actor you know this tool that enables you to do that is what is what's what's been amazing over that over the course of the last 17 years to to push and to and to so I sort of try and see how we can allow the actors palette to increase over lots of different medium
