Dougray Scott Interview
Transcribed by "K"

"Sinister Scott"
Referred to as "Scottish Bad Boy" by host.

(Opens with a MI2 "cut her loose" clip)

Narrator: Dougray Scott plays it tough in MI2 as Tom Cruise's nemesis, but the 34 year old wasn't always a bad boy, once upon a time he was Drew Barrymore's Prince Charming in Ever After.

E: Do you enjoy playing the villain?

DS:  Yeah, I loved playing the villain, it's great fun, I mean you get to be really, really, bad.  I've never been involved in a process like this where it was kinda written for me.

Narrator: But playing the villain isn't always easy, it does have its downside.

E: What was your biggest challenge?

DS: (couldn't understand his heavy accent) ...really beat up Tom Cruise everyday on the set.

E: Tough job

DS: Tough job, somebody's got to do it, I mean he's a lovely guy, occasionally you catch him in the ribs and you go - Oh no you alright Tom?

Narrator:  And while Tom Cruise is already an international star, MI2 could soon make Dougray one too.

E: Now are you prepared, because this is going to be a big hit, people running up to you, mobbing you, yelling your name, Dougray, Dougray?

DS: I don't know, no, I'm sure they'll be very restrained and if the recognize me they'll be very polite because I play a very very evil man in this film.

Narrator:  I wouldn't mess with that guy.
