Brits good at villains, says Stamp
8:57pm Wednesday 20th August 2008
The Brits are best at playing baddies in American movies according to Terence Stamp.
"I think its kind of easy for Americans to hate a villain if he's got an English accent, which I'm personally very happy about," says the star who plays baddie Siegfried in new film Get Smart. "I think well spoken English is intimidating."
But as well as some action packed scenes, Get Smart, starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, also provides laughs as it spoofs the spy genre.
"It's great to be in a spy film that doesn't take itself too seriously and is funny. It's just a wonderful script", says Terence. "I think Bond is great on action but it took Sean (Connery) to get the humour out of it really."
"The script was out-loud laughing as you read it," adds his co-star Ken Davitian.
And the pair had such a good time making the movie that they're already hoping for a sequel.
"We're not (signed on) but we have great expectations," says Terence.
