Matt Berry, “Bedfordshire’s Christopher Walken”, Talks ‘Toast Of London’, ‘Moon’ And Cult Vampire Comedy ‘What We Do In The Shadows’
Matt Berry interview: “Bedfordshire's Christopher Walken” on ‘Toast of London’, ‘Moon’ and FX's cult vampire comedy ‘What We Do in the Shadows’
Hardcore fans will remember him as Dr. Sanchez from Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, a horror parody devised by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade that premiered to little fanfare in 2004 but has since gathered a devout following, in the slipstream of Edgar Wright’s pioneering, cine-literate sitcom Spaced. Until Toast of London, however, TV struggled to find the right place for him, and his career was in danger of amounting to a series of guest spots, like the time he appeared on the surreal U.K. gameshow Shooting Stars as a brooding, taciturn version of the Chariots of Fire composer Vangelis. Duncan Jones saw it early on, giving him a wry cameo in his lo-fi 2009 sci-fi debut Moon(you might need to squint but you’ll hear it), and Berry will be returning for an equally offbeat role in the director’s new, under-wraps film Rogue Trooper, based on the character from the U.K.’s 2000AD magazine, home of Judge Dredd.
