(On Rumplestiltskin's voice)“There’s no way I could speak in my normal voice while looking so extraordinary and while having this bizarre stuff to say,” the actor reasoned. “I tried many different types of voices and the thing that I landed on was completely by chance, really, thanks to my son. He was wandering though the house making these high-pitched voices and sounds I thought, ‘Rumpelstiltskin has a child-like quality to him, he kind of enjoys gleefully tricking people.’”

source

There's something about these performances in the past few years. In a slight sense it’s about age but without a doubt it has also given me what I used to call weight. I remember when I was in Scotland and I first started acting with these older actors and they had weight. They didn’t have to act. It was just there. I think I’m finally on that path to gravitas.“

source

“I feel with TV you’re allowed more freedom. With television there’s more time to create something through the episodes. The fact that you’re working harder on the surface seems more difficult, but you get into a way of working where if you’re not allowed to stop and breathe and think about it, you just go on instinctively, which is the way I prefer anyway. It becomes a more spontaneous thing.”

(about Mr Gold) “I try to keep him absolutely neutral,” he says. “I almost do [Mr. Gold] in slow motion. It’s the exact opposite of what I’m doing with Rumpelstiltskin. He resonates calm. There’s not many times as an actor you get to play the opposite ends of the scale.”

source

“I’ll spare you the actors’ pretentious rubbish, but a face reflects experience, so if you concentrate on a character something happens to you physically. Many actors look at the costume before the part, and that seems crazy to me. It’s much more fun to be ugly. Not that I think I’m ugly, but I’ve never considered myself good-looking.”

“I guess, if I’ve got any role to play, I think I have to give a voice to the people who don’t have a voice. Thinking back to my childhood, the wee guy from the east end of Glasgow, this wee guy who was nothing, well I’ve made a career out of playing guys who are less than nothing. You know when you’re thinking about “is it possible for someone to come from nowhere?” then the answer is absolutely yes. But I tell you this: don’t think back. Thinking back can tie you up in knots and make you doubt yourself. Keep going forward, keep that water moving.”

“For me, it’s a voyage of self-discovery. I’m able to go on a set and to explore situations, personalities, people and characters that are close to me, or maybe not. Through going there and experiencing these different people and their situations, it helps me to get oriented and develop as a human being. So, acting is fundamental to who I am.”

It gave me the opportunity to define this character for a whole new generation… certain parts you play all you’re thinking about perhaps is oh… voice or maybe movement. This was a combination of everything. I had to think about how he was going to move, how he was going to look, how he was going to sound… my six year old son is always wandering about the house with a strange voice saying [random noises] and I was like…”

I am really trying to understand how I had t shorten this title and even shortened Rumplestiltskin's name to Rumple to fit the quote in and yet it doesn't look longer than other titles..

what am I missing?

x

I think the placement of Rumple on the part of Frozen mentioning a hero's journey is important.
Rumple sees himself as a villain, a monster. Unlike other villains a good deed doesn't wash away his sins. But Rumple made the ultimate sacrifice , his life to save his loved ones.
That's more than any other, though kudos to Regina for giving up her happiness and giving Emma/Henry good memories. Both were selfless acts.

The question is will Rumple's sacrifice and the fact that he has done the ultimate things be acknowledged by anyone? I consider what he did heroic, bit I am not sure I'd place his as a hero yet. The only male hero I see is Charming and Robin since acts that are selfless continuously tend to make a person heroic. But Rumple was heroic, and that may give him enough power and sway to break the chain of the Dark One and the curse and to be that man he was again. The man that even when poor would still help a beggar, even when his wife was cruel and abusive still went to try and free her from pirates even though he was lame and unable to fight. He broke the mold of cowardice a long time ago with that, he jsut needs to see it, and with the sacrifice I hope he does and this will be his journey to break the curse and darkness in himself.

I did.. I didn't want too. I was trying to fit the title and panicked..

Can you think of how I can fit this?

I worry about what he'll do with that thing and what he'll do to keep it secret, I really do... But it looks really good, I am actually impressed with the CGI there. Rumple looks downright turned on by it!

I loved seeing Rumple in more relaxed clothing. I kept wondering who the house belonged to and would Rumple and Belle claim it for their own. The Charmings or Emma could have his old house. Pink suits them better.

I wanted to see everyone's reaction to them getting married. I envisioned the reactions ranging from WTF to 'how come I didn't get a invite?' It was in the newspaper so everyone had to know, but not one comment? It would have been nice to see some Rumbelle snogging, but I have to be content with the dance. Though Rumple would not need to have magic powers to snap his fingers and get me to do whatever he wanted. I am hoping Rumple just borrowed the dagger and put it back with Belle. The hat intrigues me. I wonder its purpose. I also wonder about Rumple's relationship with Elsa. She did not seem to be afraid of him. I am anxious for that back story. I LOVED the visit to the graveside. I have a feeling he will break his word to Bae again.

He's looking at the hat remembering his first day at Hogwarts. But, even if Dumbledore gave him the house and this is his calling card, mansions out of nowhere are always trouble.

I loved it too.
I would hope to see Rumple and Belle at their house sometime instead f just the pawn shop but who knows. I don't think the house they used for Rumple's is available anymore.

Cam, I am a bit worried too. Part of me is hoping that this is something that will be good for him. Maybe something to help him break the curse, maybe rid himself of the darkness bt still able to keep his magic so he wouldn't have to suffer the humiliation he felt when he was a poor spinner.

Unfortunately, he was more turned on by that apparently than he was by Belle.

I think, and hope he's in for a rude awakening. I know he's an addict. But he deserves whatever Belle dishes out to him when she finds out. I just hope they don't take him too far. He's my favorite male character but I am really mad at him right now.

Rhonwen · 09-29-2014, 04:38 AM

I don't think A/E will risk the ship, or make Rumple looking too unforgivable.

Belle was his priority and he satifisfied her so much that she was sleeping with a very contented *I just had the greatest moment(s) of my life* expression that after wards he needed to work off his excess energy so he went to look at the item that turned otu to be the hat.

and yes the dark one seemed very excited about it.. but it doesn't mean that Rumple was hurting Belle in anyway at that moment.

Wonderful contrasting scenes last night, with Rumple at the graveyard

and knowing he has an addiction, and then the hat..

I do wonder what purpose he has for it, why would he need it, obviously for something big, as I don't think he would go for it unless it's something for his gain..we'll just have to wait and see...

He knows he has an addiction, he's just got to be strong enough to break it..

PS he looked
