James Spader: I am not on the set to make friends – De Gelderlander

The quirky James Spader approaches his work as an actor with as much possession as his creation Red, the kingpin in The Blacklist. Season 3 of the hit series starts tonight on RTL 5. “Red is willing to take any threshold in life to achieve his goal.

Behind the greatest horror often lurks the most gentle and unassuming actor. Or so says the cliché. Then walks James Spader from The Blacklist inside the interview room of London’s Covent Garden Hotel. This could be a real kingpin Raymond “Red” Reddington may be in the hit series, complete with fedora. And that thought will by its impressive low voice and omniscient heretics but not disappear.

Boldness
,, I admire Reds fearlessness. He is willing to take any threshold in life to achieve his goal. ” What that purpose exactly, is central to the thriller series that season three will start tonight. The first episode of The Blacklist start Reddington to confidently walk into the FBI office to give himself up. The criminal is willing to reveal the plans of a terrorist, but wants that information to parts unknown reasons only with agent Elizabeth Keen.

,, By his fearlessness ‘Red’ no family or home more. This is interesting in collaboration with Elizabeth, ” continues Spader. ,, He has a very charming side. Therefore, it is exciting to spend time with him, but it is always a purely professional relationship. Whoever loses sight, wait a dangerous prospect. ”

Similarities
are striking similarities with the quirky Spader itself, as soon becomes clear. Like him to working with actress Megan Boone – Elizabeth Keen in the series – is asked: ,, A pleasure. Though I never work as a social activity. I do not want any kind of interaction in addition to a work-related relationship. That’s the only thing that interests me. Not making new friends. I already. I also want to know anything about her personal life. When I’m on the set and I’m doing nothing but “blah blah blah”, then eats the transition to focusing on the series too much energy.

,, You must live in the service of your work , ” Spader continues. You will hear some chuckles in the room, but the actor is dead serious. He lowers his voice somewhat pace and voice. ,, I do not know how to do it differently. I approach this work as a sporting event. Especially in a series. I work 9 months, 7 days a week to make one season. ”
How he is charging for this? ,, I put all my energy into work, that’s what I do. The time I hold on, I spend with my family. “” Between the carefully chosen words often long silences. With a penetrating look he sometimes seems not to blink his eyes. ,, So I have nine months no social life and I see no friends. ”

Few Misses
On Spaders impressive resume with remarkably little mistakes, are under more Wolf (opposite Jack Nicholson) and the spectacle film Stargate. But the actor born in Boston that broke in Sex, Lies and Videotape, put his teeth into something rather more daring cinema. He played a sadomasochist in the black comedy The Secretary and a man with a bizarre fetish for car accidents in Crash. The possession was for Spader as much a must for his role as villain Ultron in the second The Avengers last year. Or during sex scenes. ,, And I did hundreds of them. ”

Perhaps it is a legacy from the past. Spader says he was a dropout at school and then transported meat for years as a truck driver. ,, If you work hard to achieve something, you may conquer the luxury to somewhere saying “no”. A lesson I ever learned. “

Hard world
Not that he allows someone recommends acting. His advice for anyone with such ambitions: ,, Save your money. It can be a hard world. I understand the attraction best, but look at it is completely different from the pursuit of such a life. Which is full of setbacks. Often you end up with very different work. It is also a freelance job with sometimes long periods without work. And one of the saddest things as a freelancer is losing the option to say “no.” For every day I’m in that position traffic, I thank you. ”

There were in the past in their own words roles he definitely had refused his current status. What they are? Spader late caution hear a short laugh. And then again in those intense seriousness: ,, No, I’m not telling you ”
