His time on the A-List may not have lasted but Farrell is doing a lot of indie work these days. He is next seen in Neil Jordan's 'Ondine' with Alicja Bachleda.
Here's a clip from Sara Stewart's talk with Farrell at NYP:
Colin Farrell breaks into a big grin as he dishes about his latest role. “It was the best thing I’ve been offered this year,” says the thick-browed Irish actor.
The plum part? A guest spot on “Sesame Street.”
“I did a scene with Elmo and a couple of the other characters,” he says. “The word of the day was ‘investigation.’ We did a scene with a couple of talking carrots and s - - t. It was genius!”
'Talking carrots and shit' -- gotta like that.
'Ondine' doesn't grab me but I'm hoping for the best. Trailers are fair but the movie could go either way.
Farrell is a fine actor. He brings color and depth to a story and should continue to be a factor in smaller films. I think there is still a place for him in supporting roles in major movies or in ensemble pieces.
Anyway, he looks like he's having fun. He's got four movies in post and three in development, including 'Fright Night' which could be a big boost for him.
