Enver on (non) mimicking Reed

[derevko-child.livejournal.com]

I found this through Whedonesque. Enver (Gjokaj) is creating, producing and acting in a webseries called Previously on Point Dume and HitFix interviewed him about it and asked a few questions about Dollhouse.

HitFix: Absolutely, though I don't know that anybody in history has ever attempted a Reed Diamond impression...

EG: [Laughter.] Now *he* was tough. That guy was tough. Again, I did not mimic him at all. There's nothing to mimic. He doesn't really have a mimic-able thing. I just had to tell to myself, "Alright. Now you're Reed." That's all I did for that. I just sat down in the chair and I was like, "Alright, Enver. You know Reed. Just be Reed." There was a lot of stress underneath it, too. I think there was just absolutely fear that boiled it out of me. [...]

Lol, I'm now imagining Enver sitting on the imprint chair before shooting that scene in 1x11 and muttering that to himself. Haha!

Here's the entire article. He also talks about non-mimicking Fran, and how he got into the webseries.

I actually thought about the Master of Disguise when I read that part (starts at around 1:13)

That is kind of amazing. It worked too, he was awesome as Reed.

I wonder which imprint he found more terrifying to perform: Roger, in front of Olivia (from this article (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b119368_what_doll_enver_gjokaj_spills_victors.html)) or Dominic in front of everybody else?

But seriously, Enver is AWESOME.

Aww, I can imagine Enver mumbling to himself before shooting the scene. :D I think he did a really good job mimicking Reed.

He embodied Dominic. It was amazing. I hope they have a DVD extra where Enver plays everybody. Or a DVD extra where Enver plays Dominic in front of Reed, who would also play Dominic. Or basically everybody playing another character that isn't theirs. Lol.

You know I have such high expectations concerning the extra stuff on the DVD, it's not even funny. :D I want bloopers, deleted scenes (preferably D/D), a "One day with Olivia Williams's hair" feature. What? It's totally gonna be there.

Me too. I want a really long blooper reel, around twenty minutes long. Deleted scenes with Adelle and Dominic in E2. An audio commentary with the entire cast (Or just with Olivia and Reed, heh). A behind-the-scenes look on the Attic (because seriously, that ep was fantastic. And Reed!)... and yeah. More behind the scenes please.

...

I obviously thought a lot about this. :D
