Film interview The Heavy-Lee Ryan [part one]

Ex-boy band member and solo artist Lee Ryan tells us about his debut acting role and what it's like to share the silver screen with Vinnie Jones and Gary Stretch.

So tell us a little bit about the character you play in The Heavy?
Lee Ryan: The character I play is called Rubin and he’s quite unique. He’s a bit mad, a bit cheeky, he’s a little sh**, basically. He gets himself in trouble with his mouth and then ends up in real hot water. He’s the sort of instigator of jobs that the main character Boots does. His boss is Anawalt who’s controlling Boots because he’s paying off a debt to him.

What appealed to you about the role?
Lee: I’m taking this road into acting now and it was a fantastic role. I’ve always wanted to get into film, but it was always about choosing the right role first. I don’t want to be type-cast in any particular role because I like character acting. I did try and bring a character to Rubin. He’s so flamboyant in the way he dresses that he needs to be a large, colourful character cause that’s the way he is. A lot of people might say, “Oh, he’s playing himself,” but to be honest Rubin’s nothing like I am. I think I took some influences from people that I know for the background I gave him, though it probably isn’t in the script to understand where Rubin’s roots are.



What’s your typical day been like?
Lee: My work on the film has been quite sporadic. At the beginning I was heavily involved and I’m heavily involved again at the end. The time in between has been great, too, because I’ve been able to work on other projects I’m involved in and get them going. Hopefully, it’s all going to be good for my future.

And have you had any really tough scenes to film?
Lee: It’s all been quite tough. It takes a lot of concentration. Because Rubin is a character and I love character acting or method acting, where you become that person. There are other techniques people use to deliver lines but I think of my lines and then I try and become that person. I do things before I get on set, like I put my suit on and there are a few movements I start to get in to, little things I think Rubin would do, and I walk about and I talk to the crew totally in character.

Next Lee talks about his upcoming solo album and his ambitions in acting.
