As an actor, a Dogme film is not that big a difference. You don't have to wait for the lighting, so you get a better rhythm. It's the camera guy and the editor and the sound guy who are in trouble. Because they can't do what they're used to doing.

In a big movie, like Ridley Scott's 'Kingdom of Heaven,' where I had a small part, you realize your task is to support everything that has to come together. You're just a piece of the puzzle. You're the guy in the hat.

Whenever I do anything, even the most simple character, I need to twist it somehow, make it more challenging, in terms of psychology and storytelling. I can't just do it straight.

My task is to find the authenticity in the character. I tend to go with the script and tell that story.
