Maisie Williams Reveals Secrets Of Upcoming ‘Doctor Who’ Role
“I would definitely perform video tape but lost time period due the the fact i was at in America taking pictures another tape, consequently my cause labored pretty hard and despatched over plenty of footage clip – they actually liked one and provided the role”.
Antonio Banderas, with his partner Nicole Kimpel, and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the hit HBO drama, were there, after appearing earlier in the day at a press launch.
Beneath those alarming prosthetics sits Peter Kay, who went all out for his appearance in the episode “Love & Monsters”.The Northern comedian played The Abzorbaloff, who masqueraded as a human being, in an episode in which The Doctor and his companion featured only briefly.
“Me and Jenna were talking about it”, Williams continued.
“Going further into this career I realised there are a lot of really bad characters, that it’s not common to come across females who aren’t just “the girlfriend”. Then there’s a description of the girlfriend: “Sarah: hot, blonde”. Hot-looking but in a cute way. Maisie added. “People say “don’t meet your idols as they never turn out to be who you want them to be”.
Williams said: “I didn’t know much about it, but I knew they were introducing a new character to work closely with the Doctor”. The Anne Droid fronts a dystopian version of “The Weakest Link”, who obliterates contestants with a laser, rather than the 21st century Anne’s acidic putdowns.The episode also saw Davina McCall playing a Davinadroid, who hosted a futuristic version of “Big Brother” (we suppose that would be an Emmadroid now…). “That was completely not the case with Peter and he’s been wonderful and really helpful on set”.
The lead stars were stuck in the middle of a fight between the “advanced race of mercenary aliens and a village full of angry Vikings”, who doesn’t want theirs Gods to be insulted.
In a recent interview with the Radio Times, the Portal Award victor also shared her sentiments about the lack of acting opportunities for females.
The British actress plays the Viking girl Ashildr in a two-part series of the two episodes “The Girl Who Died” starting on October. 17 and “The Girl Who Lived” on the following week.
Maisie revealed how Doctor Who became a topic of conversation in her family.
Maisie isn’t certain what her future holds, but says she may return to her dancing roots.
