| Fans of the actor who
didn't catch him in London's tiny Donmar theatre can
take heart from what he told us next. "We are
meant to be coming into the West End and Broadway
next year,' he said. 'I am making no promises now;
I'll see how I feel next year if I want to do it.
Sam said he wants me to do a play every two years,
so we'll see."
The lure of rainy London palls by comparison
with the location for Dougray's next film. "I
am doing Ripley's Game next with Liliani
Covanni,' he told us. "We are filming north
of Venice, I hear it is absolutely gorgeous,
between Venice and Padua. It is a terrible job; I
just can't stand going to all these wonderful
places!"
"John Malkovich is playing Ripley and I am
playing Jonathon who is the other guy. He is a
picture framer who works in Italy and he is dying
of leukemia and Ripley asks him to commit these
two murders and he decides to do it, because he
needs the money. He is the most unlikely assassin
in the world. He is weak and pompous and English,
but he is very complex character."
"I think Malkovich will be fantastic as
Ripley, he is an amazing actor so Iam looking
forward to working with him."
