One of the biggest reasons I think everyone love him is that he genuinely does care about each and every role he does and puts so much thought into it. Fire any question about Thorin at him and he can respond with a paragraph. Not saying that other actors don't do that either, but he just puts in so much work and research. Hrnggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! fywurfguoer
This is probably my favorite interview he has done. He seems so relaxed :) And he actually got to talk! I just love how all his answers are always so thoughtful.
I was a fan of Richard Armitage for years before The Hobbit. I first saw him in the BBC's Robin Hood in 2006 and then in Spooks from 2008. When they wrote out his character from Spooks (2010 now) I was quite pissed off. Then I found out that it was so he could go and get his big film break playing one of the main characters in one of the biggest film series of the decade and felt a lot happier about it all. Well done to Richard Armitage for a fantastic career, and for finally achieving the success and recognition that he has long deserved
+Poppy M Actually they did kill off Lucus North on Spooks. Season 9 was all about Norths past, and how he became Lucus. At the end of season 9 his past kinda catches up with him. He is pursued by Harry to the top of a tall building then rather than facing prison North steps over the edge- backwards- still facing Harry, he said at the last... "Bye Harry." and allows himself to fall backwards. I wasched the interview for the ninth season and Richard talked a lot about his conversations with the directer and writers- "I just didn't want a violent death...I'm not really that sort of guy, violent. I was happy with what they did with it." Snd, in another interview Richard talked about how Strike back had effected him. He sayd he found himself not calling home, not skypeing people like he usually did, and how the story actually gotten into his head. ?Then when the 3rd one came a long I knew I wasn't going to have time to do both roles full time- not with half a planet between to two locations. So I let them know from the start I could do almost like cameos is all." It was that interview he admitted to being relieved some what that he was not going back into 'all that' ... All cleared up?
What Poppy is saying is they did not kill RA's Spooks character because he was leaving the show for The Hobbit. What killed Lucas North was writers' idiocy. She was correcting OP's misapprehension that RA still had a contract with Spooks when The Hobbit came along. No, it was actually Strike Back. I hope this clears things up.
Aidan Turner's departure from Being Human coincided with him heading off the do the Hobbit.And that was with BBC, though Turner's storyline in that did feel like a natural end.
You always get rich quality interview with Richard A. and you want to hear more. God Bless You Richard with your kind heart and how you share your thoughts.
Richard Armitage is amazing - North and South - Spooks - Robin Hood - I hope The Hobbit is the vehicle that allows EVERYBODY to know what an unbelievable talent he really is
Best interview I have seen with Richard...I just love all the surprises that were thrown in for Richard. Love his reaction to his fan's creativity. I think he is really flattered by it all.
Yesss! Richard Armitage!!!!! About to be as big of a star in North America as he is in the UK. An inspired choice - PJ in casting for Thorin. NORTH & SOUTH!!!!
I love how he strays away from talking about "naughty grass" at "8 o'clock at night... " lol. It's so clean-cut of him, lol. Sort of like the "60 mins" for Cinemax bit he does with Martin Freeman, in which he corrects Martin about the "milky white POWDER substance," bit, so as not to confuse it with OTHER milky white substances, lol. Makes him seem very conscientious and reserved somehow, which is very endearing. WHICH is what i'd call his reaction to the fan video at the end, endearing. :)
I was actually rooting for Richard to play the role of 'Kahn/John Harrison' in 'Star Trek: Into Darkness', but I'm glad he's actually the hero for once.
That´s the nice part of being well-known, handsome, nice and talented = popularity. But if you girls make him hard times following him or screaming in audience in tv show, where he is guest, definitely it will not help you to catch him. He is human, who separate job from film roles!!! Uderstood?! Better do not torture yourself dreaming about actors, but go out and let some other nice guy be part of your life. The life is not a movie! Good luck to everyone!
Laurie James: People already know that. Especially all his girl fans, dreaming to marry him:) Unfortunately, if he "marries" someone, with high probability it ll be some collegue from the film. Unfortunately, i like this guy too, of course. But there are other lovely guys in this World! Cheer up girls!
