Ola Rapace talks about his role in 'Skyfall'

Q: What makes Daniel Craig special for you?

Rapace: I think he’s an interesting actor because he’s got a bit of a contradiction, I think. He’s really tough but he’s still really like got this deepness to him as an actor, too. I like that. For Bond, it takes some drama from the actor to make it interesting.

Q: Can you talk a little bit about working with Javier [Bardem] and what he’s bringing to the table?

Rapace: You know, I love his energy. Sitting beside him in make-up is intriguing. You never know what goes on in that mind and I love that kind of quality in an actor. I want to know what goes on in his mind. That’s cool for the kind of character he plays in this film. You’re going to wonder, “Why does he do this and what is he thinking?”

Q: So are you doing most of your scene work with Javier?

Rapace: No, most of it’s with Danny.

Q: What have you been up to shooting in Istanbul?

Rapace: We’re shooting this sequence in Istanbul that…I love this sequence; it’s going to be amazing, it’s going to be fantastic. There are so many different elements in it, in terms of action, that are going to be spectacular. The most spectacular, to me anyway, sequence in the whole thing is in Istanbul. That’s what I think.
