"Simple is best, I suppose..."

Thanks to the wonderful Hexperience site, a new interview with Michael has surfaced.  One of the nice things about Michael's career is that there isn't a shortage of discussion and information, at least not at this moment, when he has three movies being released on dvd in two months.  Add to that, a theatrical release of an award winning film this month in the US (Fish Tank), a continuous schedule of work for at least the first half of the year, and we will be very busy keeping up with him.

So let's take a look at the first interview posted for the new year.

Q&A with Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is one big paradox. On screen, the mild-mannered 32-year-old projects the smoldering confidence of a Daniel Day-Lewis or Clive Owen. In person, with his slight brawny frame wrapped in a loose-fitting t-shirt, he seems far less robust. Sitting down for our interview, it becomes rather obvious from the get go that he’s the absolute antithesis of actorly pretension. Bursting at the seams with charisma and charm in equal measures, the Irish-German actor speaks as candidly about his past as a struggling actor living in London as he does about working with Quentin Tarantino on Inglourious Basterds.

For those going to see Michael in Brooklyn on Jan. 7, you will be able to witness the charisma and charm.  

The article continues to talk about Michael's work in Hunger, Fish Tank, Inglourious Basterds, Jonah Hex, A Single Shot, his first acting jobs on stage, and possibly forming his own company again.  He jokingly askes the interviewer if he can suggest a new name for the company, since his first choice was already taken.
