Matt Doran Interview @supanovaexpo @starwars
With Supanova back again, we quickly catch-up with actor Matt Doran to discuss Star Wars, highlights and Supanova!
Star Wars, The Matrix… if you could pick one to ‘reprise’ your role, which would it be and why?
I would have to say Star Wars.
We only got a glimpse of my character in Attack Of The Clones.
There is so much more you could dive into with that character. What’s his background? Where is he from? How did he come about selling death sticks?
WHAT ARE DEATH STICKS??
And most importantly what happened to him after he meet Obi wan?
Did he go home and rethink his life or not?
I like to think he didn’t and that he’s still out there somewhere roaming the galaxy looking for his next potential death stick victim.
Who knows? Maybe Disney is thinking the same thing??
Tell us your top two movie highlights?
Getting the chance to work with Terrence Malick on The Thin Red Line.
You only have to take a look at the cast list and see how many great actors wanted to work with such an incredible director. So to be a part of that cast was very special.
Another highlight of course would be working on the Matrix. I don’t think I need to explain why. If you’ve seen the film then you will know why.
Supanova 2022! What are you most looking forward to?
I’m a huge fan of The Terminator and Aliens so I’m pretty pumped that Michael Biehn is going to be at Sydney Supanova. He was awesome in Tombstone along side Val Kilmer too so meeting him would be a highlight. I’m also looking forward to meeting the fans and seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes.
One of the main reasons I like coming to these events is meeting the fans and seeing their awesome costumes.
Lastly, what does the rest of 2022 hold for you?
At this stage I haven’t got any projects coming up but you never know what’s around the corner. To be continued…
