Billy Boyd : interviews

We could have transcribed a pile of interviews you've already seen. We could have. But it's not our way. We sat with a couple of beers and chewed the proverbial fat with Mr. Boyd on a whole range of issues. We proudly present the results of these sessions. We will have more though and we'll be drip feeding them down the line.

To listen to Billy's interviews you'll need a coolio MP3 player thing.

INTERVIEW ONE
Billy Boyd; why did he become an actor, was he a child prodigy or did his talent show itself over time? Billy talks us through his childhood acting days and tells a story of an evil guidance teacher. Thankfully the Force flows strong through Billy....

INTERVIEW TWO
Ignoring the advice of that horrible guidance fellow, Billy applies to drama college and gets in. Billy tells us of tales of being a carefree student learning his craft. Something about being a tree?

INTERVIEW THREE
Billy graduates and starts earning his crust in the real world. Billy tells us about actors in Scotland he admires and what kind of theatre he enjoys performing in.

INTERVIEW FOUR
Billy tells us all about his audition for LOTR and his reaction on landing the part of Pippin. Also a wee bit about the filming of the trilogy. And Billy nearly swears!!!! Nearly.....

INTERVIEW FIVE
Good Mr Boyd arrives in New Zealand and prepares for The Lord of the Rings. Also Billy has two birthdays in one day. Sort of.

INTERVIEW SIX
It's been billed a bigger match than Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks!!! What does Billy think of the HP vs LOTR smackdown? Also Billy talks about seeing the trailer and a wee bit about filming LOTR.

INTERVIEW SEVEN
Billy talks about his last stage play, The Ballad of Crazy Paola.

INTERVIEW EIGHT
He doesn't sing but he does answer your questions. Thanks.

INTERVIEW NINE
Time off in NZ. What did Mr Boyd get up to during his time there?

INTERVIEW TEN
Stewart, who has never been outside Glasgow in his whole life, shares with Billy how he felt about going to the World Premiere of The Lord of the Rings in London. He says 'Hilarious' around 2,349 times. Shame.

INTERVIEW ELEVEN
We ask Billy about how he felt when he knew that The Lord of the Rings was 'a good movie' and also his thoughts on the incredible reaction to the film.

INTERVIEW TWELVE
Billy answers questions from the forum and talks about this site. This was recorded before the demise of the chatroom.

INTERVIEW THIRTEEN
Did Billy turn up at the Oscars only to find the door slammed in his face? Also Billy talks about awards and DVDs and a whole lot of other stuff. Also a lesson in how NOT to hold an interview...

INTERVIEW FOURTEEN
To celebrate the premiere of Billy's new film 'Sniper470', we talked to the director, Paul Holmes, about the film and working with Mr Boyd.

INTERVIEW FIFTEEN
This interview was recorded in early May 2002 but we only found it the other day. As far as Billy's concerned though it's been up for months, alright *wink*? It covers a whole lot of stuff, mainly Billy's new projects and why he choose them. NNNice.

INTERVIEW SIXTEEN
OK, due to some crazy technical issue this interview is really quiet. So you have to listen very carefully as Billy talks about going back to New Zealand to do further work on The Two Towers and surfing in Scotland.

INTERVIEW SEVENTEEN
Not really a fun interview, more of a statement and a warning.....

INTERVIEW EIGHTEEN
A fun interview all about Billy giving up acting, starting his own drama school and other fibs that have been going around.
