Once upon a time in a small village lived a young boy named Silvester. Silvester lived with his grandmother, as his parents had passed away when he was very young. Despite the hardships, Silvester was a cheerful and optimistic boy. One day, while exploring a nearby forest, Silvester stumbled upon a peculiar pebble. It was shimmering with a strange glow, and he could feel a mysterious energy emanating from it. Intrigued, Silvester decided to take it home.
Yeah, it is actually. When I did Prometheus I spent the first few weeks so frightened I could barely speak, because I just couldn’t work out why I was there! And I kept thinking “Someone’s going to notice me soon and go ‘Who are you? What are you doing here?'” So once I got over that, I realised that for me as an actor, I don’t have to think about budget.
I guess every actor s like that, you just read something, and whether you ve got a connection to the writing, or the story, or the character, then that makes me want to look after them very protectively and give them a voice. All I do is look at my part, and even when something s really big scale, it s just what you re used to but a lot bigger, so I just focus in on the very small details and not worry too much.
Intrigued, Silvester decided to take it home. Little did Silvester know, this was no ordinary pebble. It had magical powers that could grant wishes.
