INTERVIEW WITH TOBY JONES

Toby Jones interview: Britain’s most versatile actor discusses Conrad, Sherlock and Brexit

Source: independent.co.uk

Most actors would give their tooth to land a role in Sherlock such are the kudos for being associated with the BBC’s worldwide update of Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective stories, not to mention the fabulous lines they come up with. pronounce. So how amazing would it be to think that the show’s creators had written a major role as the new lead villain – and Sherlock’s villains tend to have the best lines – specifically thinking about you?

But then Toby Jones is that kind of inspirational performer. The immensely versatile 50-year-old British director’s roles have included Alfred Hitchcock (The Girl) and Truman Capote (Infamous) as well as Captain Mainwaring in this year’s Dad’s Army, while also appearing in blockbusters such as Captain America and The Hunger Games. . Mackenzie Crook wrote the role of Lance for him in his Bafta-winning BBC4 comedy Detectorists, and now in the new Sherlock series, slated for New Years 2017, Jones plays arch-demon Moriarty’s successor, Culverton Smith.

“I know Mark Gatiss a bit and he texted me saying, ‘We wrote this part for you and I think you’re going to like it,'” Jones says in his usual low-key manner. ‘So I was thrilled to read it and he wrote such a fantastic character, it was really impossible to refuse.’

Culverton Smith, a tropical disease expert turned poisoner, appears in Conan Doyle’s story The Dying Detective, but Jones, who finished filming his scenes with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman last month, signed a nondisclosure agreement on disclosing updated details of a story originally written in 1913. It does, however, offer an opinion on the popularity of the BBC series.

“I know everyone talks about the genius of Mark Gattiss and Steven Moffat, but the updating and adapting of the stories is so cleverly and wittily done, and audiences are flattered to understand,” he says. “It’s the opposite of being patronized, they’re told they’re smart enough to figure out really complicated things and I think the public loves that. Even if they don’t understand, they are expected to understand. »

Prior to the Sherlock update, Jones can be seen in the kind of costume that Holmes and his creator, Conan Doyle, would recognize – in the BBC’s adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s 1907 classic The Secret Agent, in which Jones takes on the main role of the spy. cum-agent provocateur Adolf Verloc.

“I read the book at school but had forgotten about it,” says Jones, the son of veteran actor Freddie Jones (most remembered as the sadistic ringmaster Bytes in David Lynch’s The Elephant Man, but still going strong at 88 as a regular at Emmerdale).

Verloc is another of the losers young Jones seems to inhabit so well – this one a particularly nasty deadbeat that draws his wife’s vulnerable younger brother, Stevie, into the plot to blow up the Observatory (“Stevie’s grooming recalls how vulnerable young people are co-opted to go to Syria,” says Tony Marchant, who adapted Conrad’s novel into three hourly episodes). How does Jones manage to engage our sympathies for such a despicable individual?

“The word empathetic is really the word,” he says. “Trying to put yourself in someone else’s shoes.” And it’s a philosophy that has served Jones well over the years. His career-changing performance as Truman Capote in Infamous may have been overshadowed by Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Oscar-winning turn at Capote, but many people thought Jones’s was the most nuanced. The same goes for Jones’ Alfred Hitchcock about director Psycho’s more fashionable Anthony Hopkins impersonation.

Infamous changed everything for the then 40-year-old actor, and he’s barely breathed since. Besides The Secret Agent, he has several films in the works, including Anthropoid, about the Czech resistance’s wartime assassination of Nazi General Reinhard Heydrich, in which Jones co-stars with Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Fifty Shades of Grey’s Jamie Dornan. .

September sees the release of Morgan, a sci-fi thriller starring Kate Mara and Paul Giamatti, “about genetic engineering gone horribly wrong and I’m a Faustian figure who sold his soul to the experiment”, while he also appears in his brother’s directorial debut, Rupert Jones, in which he plays a middle-aged man in a dysfunctional relationship with his mother. Add to that Charlize Theron’s spy thriller The Coldest City, an adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s Scandi thriller The Snowman, and you have to wonder when Jones last vacationed with his wife (Karen, a lawyer) and his two daughters, Holly and Madeleine.

“A good question,” he said, before remembering. “No, I ran away last year with my family. Working is addictive… I find it addicting. My relaxation is my job, and when I’m not working, I’m working…I find that I’m always observing. There is an aspect of my personality that is interested in why people do what they do.

Charles McDougall, who directed The Secret Agent, describes Jones as the quietest lead actor he has ever met. “Yeah, he told me that too,” Jones says. “It’s not like that because I ask a lot of questions, but I tend to do that not on set but in the evening via email.

“But I’m not someone who likes to hang around on set between takes, I like to go somewhere else. Shooting is an unusual environment where the artistic meets the industrial and so you kind of have to keep your own space very carefully.

Jones doesn’t go out of his way to watch any of his performances except where he has to dub his dialogue – or what they call in the trade “ADR”. “I get very distracted by the disappointment of watching myself usually,” he says. “There is such a disconnect between what we think we look like and what we actually look like, and between how we feel about what we do and what we actually do. It rarely feels like how I felt. »

Later this month, he will travel to New York to play a right-wing cable TV pundit in a ten-part television series called Civil, about how a civil war breaks out in America after a hotly contested election. It seems topical in the bitter aftermath of Brexit, I suggest.

“Whether you are for Brexit or against Brexit, no one wants Britain to turn in on itself and it was very inevitable that this is what will happen,” he says. “You can only hope that we will be forced into an election – somehow people will see that looking outward is the answer.

“When I think about the share of my work in the EU. I spend half my life in Prague and Budapest – and I really love them. Whether I think it’s the right decision is neither here nor there – I don’t think it’s the right decision – it doesn’t seem very progressive to look inward. ‘
