Canadian actor Kris Holden-Ried is the alpha-werewolf on screen at the moment. Having won a legion of fans as the growly-voiced lycan cop Dyson in the Canadian hit Lost Girl (which returns for season two on Syfy in the UK this Thursday 12 January), he’ll soon be on the big screen as Quint in Underworld Awakening (released in the UK on 20 January). But all he really wants to do get on a horse and win a war in big sweeping historical epic.
And there are more quotes from this interview in the new issue of SFX, out on Wednesday...
... Q: After playing werewolves on Lost Girl and Awakening, are you worried that that’s the only kind of role you’re going to get from now on?
Kris Holden-Ried: “No, I’m not really worried about that. You know, more than anything I hope it opens me up to the more action/adventure film world. I’d love to do some more big budget films, like Pirates Of The Caribbean. Or something by Ridley Scott. That’s what I’m hoping it will lead to.
“I love those big, sweeping epic movies. I love Ridley Scott. I love his historical stuff. I’d love to play something like that in the 15th century, or the fourth century or 900 BC, I don’t care. I love those big sweeping epics. Put me on a horse, give me a sword and I’ll win this movie for you kind of thing...”
Lost Girl premieres on Syfy on Monday, January 16, 2012 at 10/9C.
