At this year’s Comic-Con, I got to speak with an actor whose work I really love: Guy Pearce. No matter the role, Pearce always delivers a great performance, and I really think he’s one of the best actors working in Hollywood. Anyway, Pearce was at Comic-Con to help promote director Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. In the film, Pearce plays the father that doesn’t believe the creatures are real. For more on the movie, here’s our recap of the panel, the trailer, and my interview with Guillermo Del Toro and Katie Holmes from the L.A. Film Festival.
In addition to Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Pearce talked about what it’s like to work for Ridley Scott (he’s in Prometheus), Lockout, John Hillcoat’s Wettest Country in the World, Drake Doremus and a lot more. Hit the jump to watch.

Seems like a cool dude!
Why do Collider’s video playback ALWAYS SUCK???????
they would be much better off just using youtube as the video player- as what they use is a mess, you can’t even skip ahead until the full video loads as it is.
These interviews are so cringe worthy. I bet the people you interview think you such a dork.
Hes a dork? haha, you are making fun of someone on the internet. You are a fool.
Wrong. Steve is about as good as you get as a true fan of movies and the people making it. His earnest attitude is the trait that will be more endearing (and memorable) to the people he interviewed, who’s so used to jaded industry professionals just going through the motions.
anytime we don’t have to see his black finger nails is a winning situation.
I actually think this is one of the best “Frosty” interviews I’ve seen in a while.
Also, Pearce seems like a pretty interesting and funny dude.
will watch any film with guy in it very under rated
Very interested in Wettest Country- I mean, “Wettest COUNTY” LOL- any word on a release date cause I’m curious to see if it will be ready by the end of the year.
Very impressive actor. Loved him in The King’s Speech, and just saw Memento for the first time. OMG!!! Loved it, not surprising for a Nolan fan, but it was SO good and Guy was just fantastic!
