Interview with Craig Roberts - The Double Premier 2013
Tell us about your character in The Double?
I play a suicide detective, it was good I didn’t have to do much Richard was like just do it so I did it and that was it. I don’t know I haven’t seen it I may be cut for all I know.
The Double is directed by Richard Ayaoda, was this a factor in you choosing to be a part of this film?
It’s an amazing cast it just shows how much people believe in Richard Ayoade he is such an amazing guy such a talent, this cast is just amazing its very cool. Look at everything he does he’s a genius. I think Richard has a dark sense of humour he really does- but dark is funny. I kind of was surprised but he’s very funny if you have seen his earlier stuff like Garth merengie its very dark but very funny at the same time. He’s a very clever guy. He is going to be around for a long time I reckon
Has Richards directing changed since you worked with him on Submarine?
I didn’t really work with him much in the movie, I’m only in two or three scenes I think I cant really remember but from what I’ve seen in the trailer it looks a lot darker. I just know he is a very clever guy and shouldn’t be surprised about how he will be; I think it will be different every time.
The film is about meeting your double, your doppelganger. What would you do if you met yours?
We would hate each other cause I hate myself, so we would mutually hate each other. If I met an exact copy of myself I don’t know what I would do.
Your character Adam in Being and Becoming Human was really great would he be something that you would return to if you had the chance?
I don’t think would ever happen, but I would. The part was so open to doing anything. At the time I was going through a stage where I wanted to try new things and experiment was very cool to do it.
What do you have coming up next?
I have just done a movie with Seth Rogan called neighbours that’s coming out and I’m doing 22 Jump street. Something different not as dark.
