1/2/2023 0 Comments Newt maze runner actor![]() That’s okay - the Song of Ice and Fire books are about a thousand pages each, I understand. And something like Game of Thrones seems very daunting to me! So no, I haven’t read Game of Thrones, and I don’t have any intention of reading it. ![]() I’m slightly dyslexic, so reading takes me quite a while, and in general, I’m not a big book reader at all. So finding a book or getting into a book series is hard, especially for me. You’ve always got about three scripts to read, that you have to read, all the time. The trouble is, being an actor, you’re always being sent scripts, so you’ve always got something to read. My girlfriend has read all the Game of Thrones books - twice. It may not be amazing, but you can get there.įor The Maze Runner as well as Game of Thrones, did you read the book series that are the basis of these projects? But also, we grow up watching an awful lot of American films and TV, so most people in England can do an American accent. You have to be able to do a standard, generic accent of some type, and it helps a lot. But being an actor, an American accent is the main accent you have to do. I suppose they wanted to kind of mix it up a bit, and show that these people come from all over, or at least, one of us does. I think in the book it hints that Newt is British. There are so many British actors in the cast, and yet you were the only one who got to keep his accent. So everyone would bring their dish, and we’d all meet in a room and share. Dexter would do his mom’s chicken and rice. The thing you’d miss is your mom’s home cooking. Kind of standard, but we tried to do the food that would be home food, not restaurant food. I did a roast chicken with garlic, rosemary, bacon on top. When you see sweat on us in the film, that’s real sweat. I much prefer that to working in some studio somewhere, even if you’re a lot warmer and spoiled with having craft services. It’s normally cold, wet, and muddy, locations in England. Most of the stuff I do is location stuff. It felt like we were really in the place we were supposed to be in. I love the fact that we were surrounded by things that could kill you. And I just like the idea of being outside. They gave me a machete, and I was learning how to use it, chopping down trees. They say that I was that guy, but I don’t remember being that guy! I like the outdoors. Maybe you don’t know as much as the snake wranglers or the Marines, but were you the one who knew how to handle himself better, among your fellow actors? Were you that guy? You’ve also spent a lot of time in the wilderness for Game of Thrones. Hodor Isn’t Going to Be on Game of Thrones Next Season I don’t know what Marines would do against a black widow, but just in case, they provided us with two Marines to help with survival training, and they also came camping with us. So when you guys camped out for the night, you were aware of this? And there were poisonous spiders as well. It just became part of the location, where we were. But yeah, there were a couple times where we’d see something moving in the grass. They’ll just know exactly where it is, before you’ve even seen it. It’s their passion - it’s what they love. The snake guys, they just know where to look. I think we had four - or five? - venomous snakes. We had snake wranglers on set every day, and at the beginning, when we first started using that location, they were catching about ten or 12 snakes a day, and that’s including all the snakes, not just deadly ones. He did get rushed to the hospital, just in case, though. But apparently it was a dry bite - no venom. Which apparently is very dangerous, because they don’t know how much venom to release, so they tend to release everything. Did you have any close encounters? I heard at least one of you got bit.īy a baby rattlesnake. Where you were shooting in Louisiana, there were a lot of snakes. He chatted with Vulture about snake sightings, cooking for his cast, and how he’d like to be eaten himself. To help get into character, Brodie-Sangster and his fellow Gladers camped out on location at their own peril. “Although Newt is a little more normal.” His Newt, the lone Brit among a group of boys stuck in a glade surrounded by a mysterious maze, used to be a maze runner himself until his attempted suicide left him with a limp. ![]() Thomas Brodie-Sangster plays a wise guide to a newcomer in The Maze Runner - not to be confused with the wise guide he played on Game of Thrones. “I like being the wise guide!” the actor laughed over a bite of sushi.

On the replica Speedmasters outfitted with the Sea-Gull ST19, all subdials work with the exception of the 12-hour counter. This is because the movements used in the fake Speedmasters are either Sea-Gull ST19 or ETA Valjoux 7750, both of whose chronographs don’t fit the case the same way there is no cheap equivalent of the co-axial movement with correct subdial spacing, though the Sea-Gull-outfitted fakes are a tad better than those using the Valjoux. One big telltale sign is that no fake Speedmaster has correct subdial spacing all are too widely spaced, which cuts the 3 and 9 o’clock markers short. ReplyĪfter we published this article, an acquaintance of mine involved in combating fakes messaged me with a bit more in-depth advice, which I share here. So collecting vintage timepieces has become much more demanding and complicated than it was 10 years ago, but if you do your own homework, it can still be fun. Re-lumed hands are not a knockout to buy a nice vintage watch which is otherwise in good condition. Last but not least, certain parts on a watch can easily be replaced (most of the time) such as a bezel. There are many self-proclaimed experts who do not possess 20 or 30 years’ experience, but have just big egos and claim knowledge they do not have on forums and on the internet. There are collectors who know a lot and like to share. Do your own homework, find people who you truly trust and who help you. Greed has been destroying a lot in vintage watch collecting. That part requires a lot of knowledge on your part or to find people who know what you do not know.Īlways buy the seller is good advice, but at a time where prices of vintage watches partly have skyrocketed, even formerly good sellers have become corrupted. In addition, with vintage watches the bigger danger I find in “Franken” pieces, watches made mostly from pieces which comes from the manufacturer, but do not belong together. Big difference to Omega, at least from everything I have seen so far.Īs with most higher value vintage timepieces the largest percentage of the total value of the watch is found in the dial, you have to watch out mostly for the dial. Dials are so excellently made that you need to take the watch completely apart and analyze every letter on the dial, the back of the dial, and then you hopefully realize what is wrong. With vintage Rolex, this is a totally different ball game. Relatively easy to spot so far, you often do not even need a loupe. Unlike vintage Rolex, vintage Omega dials are not as professionally faked. ![]() Being a vintage collector and trader for 19 years now, I have not run into really well-made fake Omegas, be they Speedies or Seamasters (where you have to be careful with the Seamasters 300 big triangle etc., Frankenwatches from watchco.). |
