Nicholas Briggs, known particularly for his role as 'The Voice of the Daleks', shared a few experiences with the audience at Comic Con in Cardiff earlier in 2014.
Nicholas Briggs - On Re-watching Episodes of Doctor Who and Jon Pertwee:
“I watch them all regularly on DVD.
I’m just having a bit of a renaissance with Jon Pertwee,
actually, at the moment, and he’s a much underrated Doctor. I was particularly down on him as
a kid, because, when he left Doctor Who, the headlines read: Jon Pertwee – ‘I-can’t-stand-the-Daleks’-
quits Doctor Who. And I thought, because he’s – and I love the Daleks – so I thought, ‘The man’s an idiot! He’s rubbish! He’s a terrible Doctor Who!’
But of course I think it’s the best performance of Jon
Pertwee’s career actually; it’s a beautiful piece of subtle, naturalistic
acting. I think he did a tremendous job, and I’m watching some of these old
episodes again and there’s a beautiful, reassuring quality about him."
Nicholas Briggs - On Acting
and applying for Acting Roles:
“Acting is acting is acting.
Voice acting requires some
other technique as well, but, you know, a good acting training will give you
that. Really, you know, we’re always looking for good actors. And it’s always –
sometimes it’s always just down to chance. I know lots of great actors who
sometimes say to me: ‘Oh, I’d really like to work with you,’ and, ’Oh, yes, yes
absolutely,’ and then I’ll forget all about the woman I’m casting, and then
sometimes I’m casting and I’ll get an email on one of them saying: ‘Oh, by the
way, here’s my latest clips,’ and I think,
‘I’m just casting something know, and actually, yeah, you’ve got the job.’
