Clive Owen 克莱夫 . 欧文
Clive Owen is one of the new generation of British actors who are making it big in Hollywood . He has shared the screen with stars like Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Bruce Willis, and has even been tipped as a future James Bond.
Despite becoming a major star, Clive Owen still finds time to communicate directly with his fans. In July 2005 he conducted a Q & A session at a screening of his latest film, Sin City . The following excerpts were recorded at that session. |

Asked about why he became an actor, Clive had this to say: “I did a school play when I was a kid and from then on always wanted to be an actor. I've done a lot of theatre. My first love is film. I think there's a slight snobbery about theatre – people say if you can't do it on stage, you're not a proper actor. I don't really agree with that.”
He then went on to discuss his reasons for choosing the roles he has taken: “The reason I tend to play the sort of parts I do is because is there's something to do. For me it's all about playing conflict in some way. Acting is about subtext . It's about playing a character who's grappling with some sort of issue . If everything is obvious and clear and straightforward there's not an awful lot to do apart from say the lines.”
He also talked about how he prepares for shooting : “I come prepared. I'm not great at winging it . I don't like turning up and hoping some magic's going to happen. I do put work in but I'm not quite sure what it is.”
Clive discussed the differences in the film-making process in the UK and the United States : “I suppose the fundamental differences are in the British films that I've done tend to be smaller budgets which tends to mean that the directors get left alone a bit more. There's less studio intrusion . There's not producers buzzing around putting their input in every day.”
However, when asked if he had any plans to live full time in Hollywood , Clive reassured his fans he would not be moving overseas: “My family's here. My family lives in this area so I've got absolutely no intention- I mean, I just have to travel a lot. I have to do a lot of flying backwards and forwards. But I want to live in London so that's what I'll do.”
