QUESTION: Are you the terrorist, or are you a good guy or a bad guy?
MICHAEL SHEEN: I’m the terrorist.
QUESTION: How much fun is it playing a terrorist?
MICHAEL SHEEN: Absolutely no fun at all. It’s bard, completely uncomfortable, and it’s a tough shoot, but it’s very enjoyable to be working with Gregor, and a really great script, so I’m excited about how it’s going to turn out.
QUESTION: What nationality is this terrorist?
MICHAEL SHEEN: He’s American.
QUESTION: So one of the few times you can get into an American character.
MICHAEL SHEEN: That’s right, yeah. I’m really enjoying that. It’s sort of the first proper full-on American character I’ve played.
