Richard Roxburgh
Born 1 January 1962 Albury, New South Wales, Australia.
Studied at NIDA graduating in 1986. Once dated Miranda Otto. He married Italian actress Silvia Colloca on the 25th of September 2004 in Tuscany, Italy. They met during the filming of Van Helsing. He played Dracula and she played his wife.
Richard has 5 older siblings. He went to ANU in Canberra to study economics before deciding to become an actor.
Richard on working in the UK:
"There's interesting work in the UK, I get a much morediverse selection of roles offered to me than I do in Australia. There is a lot more happening. And they see me in adifferent way, so I find that really exciting, too."
Richard on catching up with aussies in the UK:
"The Australians I'm hanging out with are mates I've known for donkey's: Matt Day, Fran O'Connor. There's not a set like there's an Oz set in LA. When you're downing a pint in Hackney, it doesn't have the Hollywood ring to it."
Richard on filming TLOEG:
"There was just so much shit raining down on that production. (not only talking about the floods that hit much of Europe). Lots of trouble: the director [Stephen Norrington] and Sean Connery had a major problem with one another from day one. Itstarted bad and got progressively worse."
Richard on filming Van Helsing:
"Dancing with Kate Beckinsale was an interesting one. Whenever I tried to start dancing with her, she would just collapse. She found the whole thing completely hilarious. I think it might be a comment on my dancing, or the way I look when I dance."
Richard on getting the voice for the duke in Moulin Rouge:
"That was, uh…a lot of it was Alexander Downer (an Australian politician). It's true. It was. Because I needed to achieve a kind of, um…something that was… both would kind of evince pity but also repulsion in equal measure. And I was, you know, fiddling around with stuff and then — this is a completely true story — I was watching the news, and Alexander was banging on about something or another and I thought… (Imitates Downer) "There's my man." It was just absolutely perfect."
