Ben Lamb Actor Interview
I think that the locations we had were absolutely stunning. And I think, particularly the historical places. The way the countryside is so…flat, and very similar to England, but also slightly different and fairytale-like. It’s quite breathtaking, I think. It was certainly breathtaking when we first arrived. We were a bit blown away by the scale of production and the beauty of the landscape.
TDQ: Did you eat a lot of Belgian chocolate..? I have to ask…
BL: [Laughing] I think I drank more beer than ate chocolate. Bruges is known for three things—well, no actually maybe, no, four things: beer, chocolate, waffles, and chips [French fries]. And you can add mussels to that list as well. Just down from our apartment, there was a chip museum, The Museum of the French Fry. [Laughing] I didn’t actually go to that, Bob Hugh, who plays Baron Rivers, my dad, said it was very informative and you actually got free chips at the end [laughing].
TDQ: Did you have a favorite moment while filming?
BL: Well, I had one particularly scary moment. We were riding down the streets. It was just before Elizabeth’s coronation. The family is riding down the streets on horseback and people are waving and cheering and stuff.
The horse that I was on, the horse trainer that put me on the horse, because one of the other actors had been on it and had been spooked—and they had assumed it was because he was a bad rider.
Anyway, they put me on it because they were like, ‘Oh you’re very good. You’re very good.’ And so I was like, ’Yeah, yeah, I’m so great.’ [Laughing] And I got on it, and it got spooked by everyone waving in silence. Because obviously for people’s dialogue the waving and cheering are all done in silence so that you can hear the dialogue through the microphone.
They can put cheering sounds on later. The horse was looking at the people just moving their hands in silence and was like, ‘What the hell is going on?’ So, it got spooked and actually started running off. Then the trainers managed to hold it back and then one of the trainers got on it to calm it down.
And that’s when it went completely mental. It trashed the track that the cameras were running on. It almost completely destroyed a camera and it certainly destroyed some of the set. And I was just very pleased not to be on the horse because something terrible could have happened.
TDQ: Oh wow, that is really scary. You’ve mentioned previously that you were auditioning for your next big role, Edward in the movie adaption of Veronica Roth’s dystopian sci-fi thriller Divergent, while you were still filming The White Queen. Can you tell me what that was like?
BL: It was stressful. Very stressful. It was stressful, but it was also exciting. I think I wasn’t expecting my career…I knew that the White Queen was going to open doors for me, but I didn’t expect it so fast. And it was all very exciting, but it was also tiring because I was also shooting.
I flew to LA twice to get that role. I was Skyping with the director [Neil Burger] while I was in Belgium and I was Skyping with the director on a really bad wi-fi, in Chicago and, you know, just trying to get the role. So, it was time-consuming and stressful. And then I would come back jetlagged and keep filming, but it was all worth it in the end.
TDQ: I can’t imagine cycling between this period of drama and science fiction.
BL: Well, that again is exactly what I’m talking about in terms of variety. It’s nice to go between film and theater or whatever. Film, theater, radio, TV. But it’s also nice to change completely, your character and not to get stuck.
TDQ: So, what attracted you to the role of Edward?
BL: I think that he is one of the most exciting character transformations in the [Divergent] novels. I think it’s very rare that you get the chance, as an actor, to be like a golden boy at the start, but at the end be this dark, grizzled, bitter [character] that lost his eye.
It’s just a really exciting opportunity for me to explore throughout however many books or movies it’s going to be, to explore that character changing so much. And also, clearly, I am a guy, so I’m going to like running around rooftops with a gun.
TDQ: That’s always the dream. Had you ever read the book previously?
BL: No, I had never even heard of the book. But it was also very exciting to find that there was a dedicated and loyal and excited fanbase, for those novels. Because I think that a lot of my work has either been Shakespeare or based on novels. So, it was quite exciting to do another adaptation that has a large following.
TDQ: As you said, Edward, has a, shall we say, an unfortunate accident with a butter knife. Can you tell me about shooting that scene?
BL: It’s actually the first time I crossed paths with prosthetics. Kevin Haley, who worked on, amongst other things Planet of the Apes, came up with the whole idea for how you could technically achieve the look of having a guy get stabbed in the eye.
It was about two hours, as far as I can remember, getting that make-up on. And it was basically plastic surrounding the eye, covered with layers of fake skin. When I first got cast, I was driving around from place to place. getting tailored for the costumes, and getting a full head cast made up with Kevin and Brad [Brevet] the make-up designer.
And he’d actually, Kevin, had made a fake closed-eye. So, One eye that was closed and the other was very tightly clenched-closed and that was the eye he used for the stabbed eye. He stuck that on last and did the airbrushing for that.
He put the make-up on and I went to set, obviously and there was a lot of blood applied at the set. And then it’s just a case of acting, but I think a lot of the hard work had been done for me, in terms of acting because the set is really amazing and atmospheric for that particular scene. And the make-up, I didn’t have to think very hard about how much actual pain I would actually be in, in that situation.
TDQ: Have you been able to see the finished scene?
BL: No, I haven’t. No, I have friends that were watching the monitors and they say it looked pretty gory. So, I think, that the gorier the better, because, in the books, that incident incites a lot of emotional reflection from Tris [played by Shailene Woodley]. So hopefully that’s what we’ve achieved.
TDQ: What was it like working with Neil Burger, the director of Limitless, The Illusionist and now, Divergent?
BL: Really, really amazing. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with Neil. When I was auditioning in LA, I used to leave the audition then call the manager and be like, ’This guy is amazing.’ It’s reasonably rare that you get a director where every single note that they give improves the performance.
I think, normally, or often directors are groping for the right direction just as much as the actor is groping for the right interpretation. It doesn’t always come the first time. But somehow, Neil has this amazing ability to come up with the exact note, without telling me how to do it. He comes up with the exact right note in every situation.
And that’s something that I really admire and that’s something that’s really helpful to the film in general. I think, also, he has an incredible eye for the image or the overall look. And that’s another attribute in a director you don’t get very often when you have somebody who is very visual, but also has a great eye for the emotional landscape of the movie. It was just really exciting.
TDQ: He definitely has a particular aesthetic to his movies.
BL: And also, it changes every time. It’s not like he is a one-trick pony. He has a different look. You know, it’s not like he chooses the same visual language every time. It’s something that is also very cool.
TDQ: How about working with fellow cast members?
BL: I think everyone was great. It was really exciting to get the opportunity to work with Shailene [Woodley]. I mean, a lot of the actors I didn’t get to meet until after we shot.
I met quite a few of them at [San Diego] Comic-Con. It’s just the nature of the scene. Tris has her one-to-one scenes with several characters, like in the books. And they’re doing training together and that’s where the action happens. Working with everyone was a joy.
All of the producers and Neil and everyone else’s involvement was pretty great. It was great working with everyone.
TDQ: Any other projects, you would like to share with the readers?
BL: Nothing I can talk about at the moment, but there are some things looking quite exciting.
I hope that Mr. Lamb’s upcoming projects are as exciting as his last ones. It seems like they will be and at the very least, they won’t be the same. Because Mr. Lamb (like my Mom) believes variety is the spice of life…
