The characters may appear to be straightforward, and then turn out to be something entirely different.<p> <p><b>What will you draw upon to bring your character to life?</b><p>  <p>Well, I've never dealt with psychologists, but I've had to research medical matters for other roles, and that's given me a clear idea of what my character should be like.<p> <p><b>To what extent can you identify with the movie's horror theme?</b><p>  <p>One thing that Davide doesn't know is that for years I've had a recurring nightmare.

But the best thing of all was meeting Davide in person and seeing how he put the project across. We had a great connection, and I could never forget a director with such vision. </p> <p> <p><b>Any future projects beyond <i>Deep Shock</i> you'd like to share?</b><p>  <p>In the coming months I'm co-starring alongside some superb actors in <b>Al Sur de Guernica</b> ("South of Guernica"), a film with a bit of horror which is being filmed in Almeria. </p> <p> <p><b>What got you into acting to begin with, and did you receive any formal training on the subject?</b><p>  <p>Although I first acted when I was 8 I didn't want to be an actor when I grew up. But in my thirties I joined an amateur theatre group and loved it. I've been involved in Spanish and English theatre workshops ever since and I've had some excellent teachers.<p> <p><b>Can you still remember your first time in front of a movie or TV camera, and what was that experience like?</b><p>  <p>My first time on TV was in a character show. It was an amazing experience, plus I had to do a lot of live improvisation. </p> <p>The first ever film I acted in was a political thriller and I had a bedroom scene. It was really easy and we had great fun, even though we had to film all night. </p> <p> <p><b>What can you tell us about your film- and TV-work prior to <i>Deep Shock</i>?</b><p>  <p>So far the everything has been amazing, but I know that the best is yet to come.<p> </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="205" align="right"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="right"><img border="0" src="../stills/francescpages-2.JPG" width="200" height="275"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"><img border="0" src="../stills/phantom5x5.gif" width="5" height="5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%">  </td> </tr> </table> <p><b>Over the years, you've also done quite some stagework, right? So what can you tell us about your career as a stage actor, and how does performing on stage compare to acting in front of a camera?</b><p>  <p>The two are very different. The adrenalin rush you get just before going on stage in front of an audience is like nothing else. And you have a connection with the other actors on stage which is impossible on the screen because of all the cuts. But in TV and film there are scenes with a level of intimacy which means you can explore new registers.<p> <p><b>Actors (and indeed actresses) who inspire you?</b><p>  <p>I think you can get inspiration from any great actor. I'm a big fan of Michael Caine and the versatility of Johnny Depp.<p> <p><b>Your favourite movies?</b><p> <p>I'm a big fan of sci-fi and there are loads of sci-fi films that I love…<p> <p><b>... and of course, films you really deplore?</b><p>  <p>Luckily I find it easy to forget bad experiences, including the ones I've had in a cinema!<p> <p><b>Your website, Facebook, whatever else?</b><p>  <p>You can follow me at <a href="http://www.francpages.com" target="_blank"><b>www.francpages.com</b></a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/francescpages" target="_blank"><b>https://www.facebook.com/francescpages</b></a>, and on Twitter: <i>@francpages</i> </p> <p> <p><b>Anything else you are dying to mention and I have merely forgotten to ask?</b><p> <p>I'd like to thank all those who have given me their continued support.<p> <p><b>Thanks for the interview!</b><p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2010"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcreditsart.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
