TOM ELLIS MIRANDA

Life is not easy for Miranda. Whatever she tries – whether it’s to date her overbearing mother or who Miranda is a constant disappointment to – she always seems to fall flat. Miranda is desperate to fit in with her girl friends from boarding school, but it’s hard to do because she’s 6-foot-1 and is called “sir” a little too often for her liking. One of Miranda’s main problems is that she doesn’t know how to behave around men, which is especially bad because her mother desperately needs her to find a husband. Despite all of this, Miranda can be happy – usually by playing games in her joke shop, run by her childhood best friend, Stevie. Tom plays Gary Preston Miranda’s lover.

TOM ELLIS RUSH

He plays Dr. William Rush who was once an ER doctor, but an impulsive decision cost him his career, and he now works in his office – a vintage Mercedes – as a medical “fixer”. He roams Los Angeles providing discreet medical care to elite residents, some of whom may not have great reputations. The doctor isn’t immune to the ugliness he encounters, but dedicated
assistant Eve tries to keep him in check and get him to clean up his number. He’s not exactly looking forward to changing his lifestyle, however, especially after the return of former flame Sarah.

TOM ELLIS AND LAUREN GERMAN

Tom Ellis and Lauren German co-star in the Lucifer TV series. Tom plays as lucifer and Lauren plays as Chloe. They both have feelings for each other but they never act on it.

INTERVIEW WITH TOM ELLIS

Source: www.interviewmagazine.com

Can you tell me a bit about how you got involved with Lucifer?

Tom Ellis: This is one of the few scripts I read during pilot season this year that, as soon as I read it, I said, “This is what I want to do.” It was much funnier than anything I had read. I met Len Wiseman, who had come on board as director. It was instant for me from that moment. He made it clear that he wanted me to do it, and I really wanted to do the project, so it was just about getting the studio and everyone involved. It came pretty quickly too.

Pilot season is such a weird time. You get such a concentrated amount of scripts. Many of them become white noise after a while. When something really appears, it becomes obvious very quickly. I’m pretty instinctive about it. I know, normally from about 10 pages, whether I want to do something or not.

What was your first pilot season like?

Tom Ellis: It was 2008. I did a pilot for Fox. The more you do, the more you learn about what you want to get out of the experience. There are a lot of people who go there just to find a job and that is no longer my motivation. I want to do good work.

When did you realize you wanted to do the right job?

Tom Ellis: I’ve been playing for 15 years now, and the more you do, the more confidence you have in ‘this is my career and this is what I’m going to do’. Since coming to the United States, I have had a very good response. It gave me a lot of confidence to be more judicious in my own choices. I imagine that has probably happened in the past few years. I kind of became a man myself.

Are you from an artistic family? Was acting an achievable goal for you?

Tom Ellis: My mother was a music teacher. I have three sisters and we all played instruments when we were kids.

What did you play?

Tom Ellis: I started on trumpet, then moved on to French horn. I played in orchestras throughout my teenage years. But, on the drama front, no, not really. My dad, oddly enough for this job, was a Baptist pastor, so I grew up in the church too. I guess there is a dramatic element to his work and he enjoyed doing amateur opera.

Were you in a nativity play?

Tom Ellis: I was in a nativity play, but being the pastor’s son, I was never allowed to play Joseph or any of the big roles for political reasons.

What does your family think of this show?

Tom Ellis: They haven’t seen it yet; they saw the trailer. They are all happy that I do. It’s already a bit of a debate, this show. I think people who take the show in the spirit that it’s meant to be received will get the most out of it. Anyone who predicts it will be something before they even see it is a bit of a fool, in my opinion. The show is certainly not a big theological debate. More than anything, I would say this show is a story of redemption. Obviously, one of our main source materials was the graphic novel it was based on.

Were you familiar with the graphic novel beforehand?

Tom Ellis: I wasn’t at all actually. I have to embarrassingly admit that I didn’t know it was based on a graphic novel until I got the job and read it on Deadline. I’m pretty glad I didn’t, because it didn’t affect my picks at first.

When you told your parents you wanted to be an actor, what was their reaction?

Tom Ellis: It was quite late. It wasn’t like I told them that when I was 12 and blindly put the rest of my studies aside; it’s something I stumbled upon during my last years of school. They were informed by my drama teacher, with whom I am still friends. There was a parents’ night and they came and met her, and she said, ‘You should think about letting Tom go to drama school.’ It was the first time someone had really done that. So they were quietly supportive; they’ve never been star parents, saying, “Our child is going to be so-and-so.” They just let me carry on, and I appreciated that because it gave me a good work ethic.

What inspired you to attend the Royal Scottish Academy’s drama school?

Tom Ellis: I was limited in my options. I couldn’t really afford to be a student in London. I had a friend at Glasgow University and went to visit him and just fell in love with the city. I thought it was wonderful.

Was your program primarily theater-based?

Tom Ellis: Yes, almost completely. The weird thing about drama school is that you train for three years for one thing and more often than not it’s something you didn’t train for that you end up doing.

What was your first job?

Tom Ellis: My first professional job was while I was still in drama school. My best friend in my year was James McAvoy, and James and I had a mandate to go and do a pantomime in Scotland, which was part of our program at the time. We had to do a pantomime at school, or if we had booked a professional concert, you are allowed to go and do it. So we went to a place called Kirkcaldy and did Beauty and the Beast. I was the Beast and the Prince.

Who was James?

Tom Ellis: In pantomime, there’s kind of these symbolic characters in every script. He was a silly young character – kind of like Buttons in Cinderella. [Laughs]

It’s good that you were allowed to do professional concerts. I feel like a lot of drama schools don’t want you to do anything professional until you graduate.

Tom Ellis: I think we were very lucky with our manager at the time. He was very avant-garde. He understood that the main objective was to make your students work in the industry. I ended up leaving a term early because I had another job. It was a pretty smooth transition into work, which was more than I expected. When you’re a drama student, I think the best you hope for is to make a living out of acting.

Were they encouraging enough at school? I spoke to Sam Heughan, who also went to RSA, and he told me that one of his teachers told him he couldn’t play.

Tom Ellis: I knew Sam a bit in drama school. I’ve had these kinds of discussions with him before. My experience was not that. I felt very encouraged, certainly by a few key staff. But I also had people whose trust was completely broken and taken. It is a very vulnerable time in your life when you are going to do anything in life. There is a fragile trust there. I know Sam had a different experience than mine, but ultimately I was really happy with my three years there.

One of your first films was Buffalo Soldiers with Joaquin Phoenix, Anna Paquin and Ed Harris. You must have been 22 years old. How was it?

Tom Ellis: It was a very heartwarming experience. I went to Germany to do it. It was a small role in a big movie, but I stayed there for six weeks. It was great to be a part of it and to work with Joaquin, who was really lovely and very welcoming to the rest of his cast. We dragged on a bit. Then when I watched the movie, my three or four lines had been dubbed by another actor. I was like, “Oh. It’s interesting. OK.’ They didn’t have much faith in my American accent, which I wasn’t either. It was a learning curve.

Did they tell you in advance?

Tom Ellis: I remember that on the set, the director had a little trouble with my accent, and I lost a little confidence in myself. Then I went to watch it without being informed: ‘I have a different voice…’

You’re like Phoebe in Friends when she was dubbed for the ‘Smelly Cat’ video.
