INTERVIEW WITH BILLY BOYD:
So, you’re the voice of the Seed?
(Laughing) Yeah.
Did you ever think one day you’d be playing a seed?
(Laughing) No. It was fun. I just saw some of it actually and it's looking great.
When you put your resume together, what’s it going to say – ‘Seed’?
(Laughing) No, it’ll say ‘Glen’.
What was the process like? Did you just go into a studio, watch the scenes, and then provide the voice work?
Yeah, pretty much.
Have you done voice work before?
I’d done a lot of radio.
Do you have an accent for this role?
We shall wait and see (laughing). It was a lot of fun, actually.
How much is your voice actually in the movie?
Well, you know, it’s a full movie…
So the Seed is able to speak throughout the film?
Yes.
Were you familiar with the “Child’s Play” franchise before doing this?
I missed them until “Bride of Chucky,” which I thought was really funny. It wasn't what I expected. I thought it was a real sort of horror-horror, but it's fairly tongue-in-cheek, so I kind of enjoyed it. This one is probably more in that route.
Was the process like an animated movie where you’re isolated from the other actors or were the other actors around?
No, it was just me and then with the director, Don [Mancini].
Did you go back a few times to do different lines, like you would for a regular animated movie?
No, we did it right through. And then I had to go back and change some stuff for one day, just for like a couple of hours.
Do you have any publicity stills of you and the puppet?
No! I’ve never even seen the puppet. I’ve seen it on the screen, I just haven't seen the actual real thing. I haven't held it. I wonder if I get to keep it?
