00:00:00.405 --> 00:00:03.045
- I think that Professor
Moriarty, for me is

2
00:00:03.045 --> 00:00:05.825
probably the second most
charismatic character in the whole

3
00:00:05.825 --> 00:00:08.025
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Canon.

4
00:00:08.025 --> 00:00:09.925
If you just list some of the things that

5
00:00:09.925 --> 00:00:12.885
that Professor Moriarty
is defined by, you know,

6
00:00:12.885 --> 00:00:14.685
a brilliant mind, a
brilliant mathematician,

7
00:00:14.685 --> 00:00:16.885
well-read a Chess Grand.

8
00:00:16.885 --> 00:00:20.165
I just kind of was sat down
with the production company once

9
00:00:20.165 --> 00:00:21.475
and said, where's that story?

10
00:00:21.475 --> 00:00:24.185
Where's the story of how
he became the villain?

11
00:00:24.185 --> 00:00:27.515
Why is he the villain? How is he so hated?

12
00:00:27.515 --> 00:00:28.745
What made him this way?

13
00:00:28.745 --> 00:00:30.445
And then the story got flipped so

14
00:00:30.445 --> 00:00:32.225
that he became the quote unquote good guy.

15
00:00:32.225 --> 00:00:33.885
And Sherlock at the Backer.

16
00:00:33.885 --> 00:00:36.045
I don't make a massive kind
of distinction in terms

17
00:00:36.045 --> 00:00:37.835
of the way that I behave.

18
00:00:37.835 --> 00:00:40.545
Obviously, you're, you're
slightly restricted in terms of,

19
00:00:40.545 --> 00:00:42.945
you know, you can't move too
far away from the microphone.

20
00:00:42.945 --> 00:00:47.505
But I still sit down at
night and read my lines

21
00:00:47.505 --> 00:00:50.505
and think about what I'm going to wear.

22
00:00:50.505 --> 00:00:52.605
For Moriarty, I tended
to wear a lot of kind

23
00:00:52.605 --> 00:00:55.325
of high neck things that
made me feel restricted.

24
00:00:55.325 --> 00:00:56.865
So like zip up things

25
00:00:56.865 --> 00:01:00.245
or like jackets that kind
of constrict my neck just

26
00:01:00.245 --> 00:01:03.265
because he feels a little kind of trapped

27
00:01:03.265 --> 00:01:07.825
and kind of kind of hemmed
in a little bit Moriarty.

28
00:01:07.825 --> 00:01:11.985
But I'm always kind of
considering like how I'm standing

29
00:01:11.985 --> 00:01:14.285
who he is, trying to put

30
00:01:14.285 --> 00:01:17.065
as much emotion into a voice as possible.

31
00:01:17.065 --> 00:01:18.665
You can listen to Moriarty,

32
00:01:18.665 --> 00:01:22.825
