ACG3 Behind the Scenes… Week? 4!
Well, apologies for the gap. But we’re back with some more behind the scenes interviews to lead you into the release of ACG3!
Today we have a very special guest, and probably the fan favorite… Actor Anthony Trigilio! Let’s see what he has to say!
Q: Introduce yourself!
Hey! I’m Anthony, a.k.a. Theo.
Q: Tell us a little about your role in the Assassin’s Creed: Generations series.
Well, I play Theo, a young man who becomes a modern day assassin. He finds himself conflicted when he starts to question why he becomes an assassin in the first place. But everyone sort of finds their own way, and Theo will find his own path.
Q: It looks like Theo has come quite a long ways from ACG1. Tell us about the character’s transformation throughout the series.
He sort of goes from a vengeful young man, to a more experienced trainee, and then finally a professional killer. It’s a very dynamic road that he travels and really makes you draw some similarities between him and Ezio.
Q: Can you talk a little about your acting process? How do you get into character, how do you prepare yourself for a role, and is it difficult for you?
In the first ACG it was a bit of a challenge to find my character. With some help from you of course I sort of finagled my way into a mind set of revenge and focus. Luckily from there on in, it wasn’t nearly as challenging to slip back into Theo’s shoes for the sequels. Usually to prepare myself for a role I do a lot of self-convincing, try to make myself believe that I am Theo, if I can hold that mind set until shooting time, I forget all about the cameras and crew.
Q: It looks like everything was amped up in this picture, from the production design to the fights to the story. How was it working on such a larger-scale film?
It was FANTASTIC. As if I didn’t love working on set with Quigley Films as it stands, working on this one was so professional, made me feel like I had to really step up my game.
Q: How was working with Tom Quigley as a director?
HE’S A SON OF A— Kidding, working with him is a lot like working with your best friend, well it’s actually exactly like that. There are times where you want to strangle them, but there are times where you can relate to them better than anyone else. This comes in handy for a director-actor relationship as you can imagine.
Q: You’re a big fan of the games. What is it like to play a part in the story of the Assassin’s Creed universe?
It’s more than I can ask for. Theo started off like a sort of shallow character idea, now after all the work we did on him and his story, he really feels like he fits right into the universe.
Q: Any words out there for aspiring actors or stunt people?
For actors! Get out there, practice, and do whatever you want to do. You just got to believe in yourself. For stunt people! Don’t kill yourself! Ha ha, but seriously, hone your skill and get into everything! Parkour, Martial Arts, even stunt driving. There’s ALWAYS help wanted in cinema.
Q: What’s next for you?
Whatever comes my way.
I’m not going to leave you hanging like that, haha. I will be moving to a big city in the next year, when I’m there I’ll be furthering my stunt-acting career. And above all, I’ll be there for the next time Quigley Films needs my help.
Cool stuff guys ^_^ Always awesome to read interviews from actors. Good tips at the end as well. With my love of the AC universe, it didn’t take long for me to get into these films. Just great stuff. Keep up the good work guys and I will be waiting for ACG3 :p
