Ice Age Interviews

Just a few short story chapters with the Ice Age cast being interviewed, and what it was like filming. Hope you enjoy! Reviews Please! I DO NOT OWN ICE AGE.

Welcome back to Ice Age Interviews! We're back with the main antagonist of the film. You better hide your treasure and booty, because up next we have...Captain Gutt! Alright Gutt, get on out here! Your fans are waiting!

"Hullo there!"

It's great to meet you, Gutt. A lot of peole have wanted a real villain to be in the Ice Age movies for a while now. There hasn't really been a potential threat to the characters,or at least, one who could talk and interact with them, since Soto the sabre- tooth tiger, and I'd say here, that the herd have really met their match, would you say so?

"Oh, definetly, you know, it's quite hard these days to get a true villain for a movie, and with Captain Gutt, I'd say he's just the best."

Now, what would you say about your character? Is this the first time you've acted in a movie?

"Well, it was the first time I'd ever acted in anything this big budgeted before, just the occasional soap-operas and adverts and commercials, so-uh, yeah, you could say this was my big break."

So what is Captain Gutt like?

"The truth? He's horrible!"

Ha. ha!

"He's really nasty to Manny and his friends, he's just the worst! He's quite the tradional pirate type, you know, he's got an admiral hat, and a long cutlass -sword, he's very scary, he makes people walk the plank, he just terrifying."

What do you think about him?

"Well, honestly? I love him!"

Really?

"Yeah, the villains are the best, everbody wants to play the evil villains, they are wonderful, even if they do, do terrible things!"

When did you get the call asking you to act in the movie?

"Um, well, actually, I didn't get a call."

Really?

"Nope, I auditoned for the part. I showed up, stood on the stage, tried to act the way Gutt would, tried to say things that Gutt would say, and just like that, I got the part. The directors said I was just perfect."

Are you and Manny good friends in real life?

"Thankfully, yes! Although we had to fight,and occasionally hurt ourselves and each other, spraining limbs on the pirate-ship set, we did have fun, and we met up at the big premiere in London, and had a blast."

Are you a pirate in real life? Or were you ever one in former life?

*laughs* "Sadly, no, I was never a pirate. But I was a sea-captain though, I did spend some time serving in the navy, along with my "pirate", crew that I worked with-and that was not fun! You've probably noticed I've got some scars."

Really?!

"Just here, on my arm is where I was bitten by a shark-that's the last time I go fishing in the Pacific Ocean!"

heh heh! What type of shark was it that attacked you?

"Umm. An Oceanic White Tip, if I remember correctly. Grabbed hold, sunk it's sharp little, serated teeth in and just wouldn't let go! They're a very dangerous breed of shark."

What was it like working with the other "pirates?"

"A bit weird, since we again, hardly knew each other, but we soon bonded, and I was introduced to Squint, and Raz and Gupta, and we had fun together!"

And what are they like?

"Well, Squint's hilarious, Raz has a great sense of humor and Gupta is a party animal-no kidding!"

What was it like filming?

"Fun, most of the time. Except for one little incident during the bif fight scne on the ship, where I hit my head on one of the masts."

Oh no!

"Yeah, it was a hard fall, the filming was postponed because of it, and I had to be rushed to the hospital ward, bandages all around my head. Shira, Manny, Sid and Diego sent in flowers for me, which was really sweet, Squint Flynn, Silas, Boris and Gupta all signed a card for me and Raz came to visit me daily, sometimes sitting by my bed, chatting, to make me feel better, and to keep me company, sometimes when my injury got really worse, she would sit with me through the night, bless her precious heart."

Awww, that's so sweet! I hope your feeling better now.

"Yes, yes, I made a quick and full recovery, which was great, and soon, we were up and filming again."

In the film, your portrayed as an evil, blood-thirsty pirate, intent on getting revenge, but your fans want to know, what makes you cry with happiness at home?

"Uh, my grandkids, definetly, they're huge fans of Ice Age as well, as I've watched a few with them and they were delighted when they found out I was in the fourth movie, so, yeah, I cry a little bit when I see my grandchildren happy."

Awwwwww, and what did they say to you after they watched the film?

"Hmm, let me think. If I remember correctly, I think they said something like, "Grandad, Grandad! You play a pirate!" and then they started calling me "Grandad Gutt," after that."

Well, there has been two questions sent in by fans, and one of them is, "Who do you miss the most when filming?"

"The gospel truth? My mother. When I've had a particulary hard day on set, I'm just like, "I want my Mum!" you know? That kind of thing."

And the other is, "When you're not filming, what is your hobby at home?

"Uh, at home, my hobbies are reading, cooking and playing the piano."

Even though you haven't been doing this for a very long time, what would you do and say if the Ice Age franchise was shut down?

"Uh, probably, "Take it up with my grankids!" or something, "then you'll really have something to deal with!" I couldn't leave though, no, I couldn't go, I just love this now."

And Sid the sloth overheard the directors could be making another Ice Age. Would you want your character to be in it? What would you say about a fifth intallment of the films?

"YES! Let's get filming!"

Excellent! So, thank you, Gutt, you've been great today. Congratulations, you truly are "Master of the Seas!"

"Thank you! It's my pleasure."

And we shall see you hopefully in the fourth AND the fifth movies.

Still to come, Shira and her crew, and Granny, the amazing sloth. Stay tuned for more interviews!
