Interview  |  Lani Tupu
Troll de woll

Picture Did you enjoy returning as a troll in season four?

I liked the fact that I had an opportunity to play a different character. I loved playing the troll. What I didn't love was the make-up process.

When I think about Anthony Simcoe sitting in the chair with three to four hour make-up every day, I'm really pleased I didn't get D'Argo. I don't have the patience for that. It was confirmed playing the troll.

It took an hour for me to do the makeup for Crais, strangely, and most people would go, "Well, all you had to do was pull your hair into a bun and flick it back and powder yourself down," but Crais' makeup was fairly meticulous. But for playing the troll, I had to sit there and have all the glue slapped on my face and be patient, and that took three hours, and three quarters of an hour to take it off. So I will never say yes to prosthetics. It's not me.

I remember doing stageplays where I had to wear moustaches, and as soon as I opened the bottle of glue to stick on my face, man, I hated that. Prosthetics and me, no, never.
