Joseph Morgan Interview – JustJared.com Exclusive
Just Jared: What is the potential for another crossover between The Originals and The Vampire Diaries?
Joseph Morgan: It’s an interesting
question, because we’ve done two so far. With Tyler coming over seeking
revenge and we did one with Tatia, which was
Nina [Dobrev]
coming. There’s a lot of people wanting to see Caroline crossing over
to New Orleans to visit Klaus, because of that sort of unresolved
romance that happened back in
Vampire Diaries.
I’m sure they will use another crossover because why wouldn’t they?
It’s a wonderful opportunity. It might be nice to see another character
that I don’t have a history with. I like
Michael Malarkey, who plays Enzo on
Vampire Diaries. I’d love him to cross over just ’cause I’d get to spend more time with him then, he’s a good bloke.
JJ: Was your first audition for Harry Potter? Could you rewind us back to those days?
JM: (
smiles) Yeah! I was just in
drama school and I just signed with my agent in the UK. I was 21, and I
heard about them making the Chamber of Secrets, which was the second
film. There was this part, Tom Riddle, and this woman called me, who was
interested in being my agent. It came through on an anonymous number,
and I thought it was one of my friends pretending like, “Hello, is
Joseph there please? Yes, I have an audition for him.”
So I read the book, watched the first
Harry Potter film, bought a
Harry Potter
poster and put it on my wall. I absorbed it all as much as I could.
Then I went in and I got a call back but I didn’t end up getting it. It
sort of set the standard for me. Like, I knew I should be doing film and
television.
We’d all seen
Orlando Bloom get
Lord of the Rings, and shoot for stardom. So I got this audition and I was like see ya later guys! I’m off on my rocket ship to stardom.
JJ: What are the last three things you charged on your credit card?
JM: My room in Los Angeles, (
laughs),
where I’m staying, probably my room service, and a dog we just
fostered. A new pet, a little terrier…which we call Kingston. I say
fostered, he was, but now we’ve adopted him. They think he’s
two-years-old, but they don’t know. They found him kind of just
wandering in LA, so I’m not sure his age. We named him Kingston because
we love Jamaica, and you know, we got married in Jamaica.
JJ: You found him in LA, so you’re bringing him back with you guys?
JM: Yeah. We’ve only had him about five days. He’s on best behavior at the moment.
JJ: What are the next two things that you want to check off your bucket list?
JM: Skydiving! I’ve always wanted to do
that. Although, I’m a little timid about heights, but I suppose at that
height, it doesn’t matter. I’m not frightened to look out the window of
the plane, but I think the actual jumping moment. I heard sometimes they
push you out the plane, so maybe I’ll need that, like I’ll need to be
pushed out.
I do play guitar a bit, but I’m trying to learn to be really good at
the time. My wife got me an electric guitar for Christmas. I’ve brought
an acoustic to work, so I’m going to annoy everyone at work by playing
really loudly. And hopefully eventually I’ll get good! I’m like a
campfire guitarist. I learned in the 90s, so I can play all the 90s
indie tunes. Like Oasis, and Blur, and all these bands. I need to update
my guitar playing. I’m trying to learn serious stuff like scales and
modes.
JJ: Do you teach yourself with YouTube videos?
JM: Exactly that. Yeah.
JJ: What are you singing in the shower nowadays?
JM: I sing a bit of
Mumford and Sons.
I like to sing like Tom Waits and do all the kind of voices and stuff.
Mostly dark stuff. I sing a lot in the car. I’ve got this long drive to
work — like forty five minutes. So I do a lot of testing!
JJ: Any New Year’s resolutions?
JM: Exercise more. ‘Cause you never know when the
shirtless scenes are coming. (
laughs)
They’re coming soon, I haven’t been for a while. And the guitar thing,
that’s definitely a resolution. And I’m trying to do more writing now,
just trying to kind of use my time better each year, be more productive.
JJ: What app do you use on your phone the most?
JM: Aside from Twitter, which I used to use
more than I do now. It’s only because I work so much now that I forget
about it for a minute. But I used to be religious about it. I use
Audible, I like they’re books on tape. And I’m like the last person to
discover Uber. I’m telling people how great Uber is and they’re like,
“Where have you been for the last like, four years?” But yeah, Uber is
my new best friend.
JJ: How did you make your first dollar?
JM: Working in a fruit and veg store, in
Swansea Market, which is where I grew up, in Swansea, Wales. My dad got
me the job, he used to go and get our fruit and veg from there and I got
paid, I think 2 pounds, fifty an hour. And I basically had to lug
potato sacks around and apples, and then arrange all the fruit in the
store so it looked nice. That lasted about five weeks, so I must’ve
made, I made twelve pounds, fifty each time, ’cause I worked for five
hours. And I used all of that money to buy a keyboard from my brother,
which I probably could’ve used anyway because he was my brother and it
was in our house. But I wanted it to be mine and in my bedroom, so I
bought it from him. And then never used it, so that was a waste of time.
(
laughs)
JJ: What’s the most meaningful tattoo that you have?
JM: I really like this one of the birds.
But I suppose for the purpose of this question, I have a triangle on my
back. I have two best friends who I’ve had since I was sixteen, and we
grew up together, and we used to always refer to our friendship when we
were teenagers, as the triangle. One of those guys is a good friend of
mine, Leon Davis, in Wales, and the other one is
Matt Ryan, who is Constantine. If you’ve seen the show
Constantine,
you’ll see he has the same tattoo on the other shoulder. And my mate
Leon has it in the middle of his back, and I have it there. We got them
together a couple of years ago in London.
JJ: You recently got married. What’s married life like? Are you still in the honeymoon period?
JM: Yeah, we’re still newlyweds ’cause
you’re newlyweds for the first year I’m told. It’s terrific. We lived
together before we were married, so it’s not different in that sense but
it’s very different calling her my wife. And that’s still a big thrill
for me.
I never really thought I would be married. Not that I was against it,
my parents were married all the way up until my dad died, but I think
I’ve always felt like that was something that more straight laced people
do. But then I met
Persia
and she’s wild, interesting, passionate, fiery, and amazing. So I
thought, “Alright, if it’s with her, that’s alright. I could do that.”
‘Cause it’s still kind of this, eye of the hurricane thing, which is
amazing.
"Cambia il modo di fruire dei contenuti televisivi,
ma cambia anche il modo di produrli. Di fronte a un palinsesto sempre
più liquido (l'ora di messa in onda la decide lo spettatore) e sempre
più mobile (anche il luogo e il supporto di messa in onda li decide lo
spettatore), la Rete (intesa come Internet) inizia a dettare legge nella
creazione dei contenuti, perché sempre più spesso le serie tv di qualità arrivano non dalle reti (intese come televisive), ma da nuovi soggetti che hanno fiutato il nuovo business. Ora è su questo campo che si gioca la nuova sfida tra i due grandi servizi di streaming di film e serie tv - Amazon Prime e Netflix, ancora assenti in Italia. Netflix
era nata per offrire un servizio di noleggio di dvd e videogiochi via
Internet, per poi allargarsi allo streaming online on demand. Troppo
poco, serviva un ulteriore passo: così da mero distributore Netflix
ha deciso di diventare anche produttore di contenuti originali. Il
primo risultato è stata la pluricelebrata House of Cards, un affresco
cinico della politica con Kevin Spacey e Robin Wright. Il secondo
risultato l'altrettanto apprezzata Orange Is the New Black, ritratto
senza sconti di un carcere femminile. Se i Golden Globes
hanno premiato Kevin Spacey come miglior attore di una serie drammatica,
hanno soprattutto sancito il successo di Transparent, su una famiglia
con padre transgender: la serie ha ricevuto un doppio globo, uno come
miglior serie comedy e uno per il suo attore protagonista Jeffrey
Tambor. Transparent è prodotta da Amazon, il colosso dell'ecommerce che
per diversificare e ampliare il suo business ora ha anche sviluppato una
divisione che si occupa di spettacolo, gli Amazon Studios. Transparent è
solo uno dei tanti pilastri che la società di Jeff Bezos ha messo in
piedi. Di tre giorni fa è la notizia che ha convinto Woody Allen a
lavorare a una serie tv: il titolo della
produzione è come per ogni film del regista americano lo stesso,
Untitled Woody Allen Project , ma la curiosità per quello che ne nascerà
è già alta. Qualche mese prima invece Amazon aveva trovato un accordo
con Ridley Scott, coinvolto come produttore esecutivo della serie La
svastica sul sole, tratto dal romanzo di Philip K. Dick, dove lo
scrittore immagina un mondo in cui la Germania di Hitler e il Giappone
hanno sconfitto gli alleati nella Seconda guerra mondiale. Ma la competizione tra Amazon e Netflix
- Golia contro Golia, visto il volume di affari - è su più fronti:
proprio poco tempo fa la prima ha siglato un accordo per distribuire le
ambite serie tv di HBO: da I Soprano a Il
trono di spade, da Boardwalk Empire a True Detective. La seconda ha
risposto investendo il 10 per cento del proprio budget 2015 - oltre 300
milioni di dollari - in produzioni originali. Una battaglia sui contenuti che è una battaglia per ottenere nuovi abbonati. Netflix
è avanti: presente in circa 40 Paesi, ha superato i 50 milioni di
clienti (di cui 17 al di fuori degli Usa). Amazon invece è attiva in
Stati Uniti, Gran Bretagna, Germania, Austria e Giappone e può contare
per ora su oltre 20 milioni di sottoscrittori. L'Italia? Al momento non
pervenuta".
