Lee Ingleby -
Summary:
On a totally unrelated note, Ingleby discussed his role in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. “I play a guy called Stan Shunpike who’s the bus conductor. Harry’s lost, stumbles across a big triple decker purple bus that takes him to where he wants to go and my character teaches him- - well, not right and wrong, but helps him along his way.”

Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany and their wives were certainly the spectacle of the evening, but other filmmakers were also on hand to fill in the gaps. Director Peter Weir answered the biggest question of all. Who got seasick? “I did, I must confess,” Weir said.
“On the way back though. No one saw me.”
Costars Max Benitz and Lee Ingleby also shared there experiences on the film. Benitz commented on holding one’s own through the epic nature of the film. “The script was written in a way that everyone gets their moments in the film, so it wasn’t that overwhelming,” Benitz said. “It was fun. We all showed up, 25 British actors, very far away from home. And we were bonding together and it was a great, fun time.”
Ingleby described the digs for cast on the oceanbound set. “We had a fantastic green room which was sort of made out to be like the cabin really, where we all hung out,” Ingleby said. “We played board games and read and just conversed really. It was great.
Benitz added “That was Peter’s idea, to keep us all together. So it was fun. We hung out a lot together.”
It was indeed a set full of guys, as the majority of the film takes place on the boat with the crew. “Lawrence of Arabia had no women,” Benitz reminded. “Yeah, it was kind of weird at the beginning, but I think a love story really would have detracted from what Peter saw was the role of the film, which was to show how these people lived and to show how the characters all developed.”
Ingleby did some research to prepare for his part. “It was a combination of just reading books,” he said. “We had two weeks of learning to sail and how to speak in sailor-speak, and life on board ship. So it was a really tense time for us and to all come together as a group and have to live with each other and work with each other as a movie.”
On a totally unrelated note, Ingleby discussed his role in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. “I play a guy called Stan Shunpike who’s the bus conductor. Harry’s lost, stumbles across a big triple decker purple bus that takes him to where he wants to go and my character teaches him- - well, not right and wrong, but helps him along his way.”
Of course, this involves a lot of special effects. “Yeah, tons. It’s all blue screen. It’s a bus that travels through London during Rush Hour 100 miles an hour, so it’s a lot of blue screen work.”
i dunno but i find him really funny
