Maxim Knight Interview
Q: Tell us about how you got the role of Matt Mason in TNT’s “Falling Skies”?
Maxim Knight: Well it was just like any other audition. My agent told me where to go and who to see. When I went in I didn’t even know that the project was…it was just “Untitled Alien Invasion Project”. I didn’t know if it was a video game, a movie or what. It was very interesting and secretive.
Q: How was it working with Noah Wyle & Drew Roy?
Maxim Knight: It was really great. Noah Wyle found ways to make the scene better and put the show in front of his personal needs, which was really impressive. He is a very good actor also. It was really fun working with Drew. It was funny because he was always getting chased by girls on the set wanting autographs and pictures.
Q: With season one in the bag, what would you say was the highlight for you?
Maxim Knight: I liked ripsticking scene, it was a lot of fun. I got to go ripsticking and it was pretty cool. The part when I eat a little bite of cake…it wasn’t just the one bite. As you know, in TV shows they have many takes. I probably ate about 14 of those and then they served lunch and I was stuffed [laughs].
Q: What was the most challenging part about working on the show?
Maxim Knight: Well having to wait for each script for the next episode. I was always very excited to see what was planned next. Also being up in Canada in the cold was my major issue. Towards the end of the shooting, we were shooting in the winter and it was really cold.
Q: When do you start work on season two?
Maxim Knight: In the second season we are shooting it from October to February in Vancouver, so it will be cold then again. I can’t wait to see what happens to all of the characters. I am really excited.
Q: Tell us about your ADR work on some big films?
Maxim Knight: Yeah, I did ADR on “The Smurfs” and “Happy Feet 2” recently. I think “Happy Feet 2” looks really good. I had a voice over coach that taught me the loops, his name is Tony Gonzalez. He is the guy for voice over coach. He taught me everything I know.
Q: What do you have planned next?
Maxim Knight: I am doing voice over upcoming for Mowgli from “The Jungle Book” in an upcoming Disney video game. That is pretty cool. I have never done video game stuff before. I was just in an episode “Wilfred” and that was pretty cool but very naughty though.
Maxim Knight: I am in the season premiere for “CSI: Miami”, it is also pretty awesome.Also, i am in an episode this upcoming season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. I am also recently did a short film called “Trigger” directed by Matt Sinnreich.
