I am big comic book geek.
I cant live without them.
Deadpool was always one of my favorite characters because of the way he handles all kinds of situations.
Fox
His style and humor make him the perfect antihero.
This gives Deadpool the arrogance which you just have to love.
What was the interview/audition experience like for the role of Colossus?
Fox
I ended up with 120 takes on my third call of auditions.
I worked at Fox studios with [director] Tim Miller for the last part of the audition.
I was reeling with excitement from that last week in L.A., but I couldnt tell anyone about Colossus!
Describe the feeling when you found out that you had received the part.
I still get chills when I think about it.
Your voice is used to create Colossus, but did the performance involve motion capture as well?
My characters voice gives him the past history as Piotr Rasputin once you hear him speak.
This made him the most authentic to the original idea of the comic book character.
How is Colossus voice different from your own?
What were you and Tim hoping to achieve with the accent?
Giving the voice and expressions to a character is giving it a soul.
The best note I received was to be authentic.
Were you aware how shut the movie was to being finished when you worked on your part?
Yes, I was aware, so I knew how important was to make a perfect Colossus.
What it was like to work with Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller?
Working with him was a fantastic experience, and his ideas and suggestions helped me out a lot.
It was just great fun to work one-on-one as Deadpool and Colossus.
I worked with many directors in my life, but Tim Miller is definitely my favorite.
I enjoyed working and spending time talking with him.
Is that really how it feels?
It was anX-Mencomic book.
Becoming a part of the Marvel Universe was my childhood dream.
Its a fulfillment of my dreams on so many levels.
