Atalay: "I am a big fan of sitcoms" ["Ich bin großer Fan von Situationskomik"] Interview published by RTL.de on May 3, 2011 è here
More about the TV movie you can find è here |
You are playing the Spaniard
Ramon who suddenly has to perform a ghost chase in the hotel "El Sol".
Would you please describe the role in a nutshell ? How did the role please you
?
Atalay:
Ramon pretends to be something he actually isn't but in the end he surpasses
himself. That is how the role pleased me. Moreover he fights for his passion,
meaning the love he eventually gets in the end.
In particular funny: Your
Spanish accent in this film. Was it hard for you to keep it up?
Atalay:
Since I spoke permanently in that manner, including the discussions we had on
the set, I found it harder to drop it after the shooting.
Usually action and highways
are your ground, still now you explore the world of comedy: What have you
experienced? Are we about to see you henceforth more frequently in that kind of
roles?
Atalay:
That depends on the plots. This film's humour is totally to my liking. I am a
big fan of sitcoms and here the aspect of sitcom was covered.
Do you rather work with
actors who you already know well ? Or do you regard it as a welcome challenge
to get adapted to changing colleagues ?
Atalay:
There is definitely an appeal to both. New colleagues are always thrilling, but
sometimes even working with somebody you actually know in out can reveal
absolutely new trades and partly really surprise you.
In "Geister (Ghosts) all
inclusive" hotel security guard Michael Hagen starts a ghost chase behind
the back of his wife while they are having their honeymoon. What would be your
personal honeymoon nightmare?
Atalay:
Monsoon rain and a breakup right after the honeymoon.
