Amanda Tapping

Film The Void

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289605/

Audience member: What was it like working with Malcolm McDowell in The Void?

Amanda: The very, very first scene I shot with him, and I hadn't met him yet - and we'd been shooting The Void for a couple of weeks - and it's the scene where Adrian Paul and I are tied to the chair and he comes in for the very first time... and so this was my very first time meeting *Malcolm McDowell*, and I was nervous but I was tied to this chair, so made it even worse. And he walked in and we had just started the rehearsal, cos we were running behind and they wanted to get the scene before the end of the day. And so he talked to the director and I was tied to this chair so I couldn't meet him, and he walked in and started the scene and he said ' well, Eva, you've been very busy and a very naughty girl' And I burst out laughing and said, 'Oh my God, Malcolm McDowell just called me naughty!' And he turned in my direction with these blue, blue eyes and just went (makes click noise, and nodding and pointing) 'We're gonna have some fun with you', and I went (nodding and grinning).

Audience member: And what's the biggest joke pulled on you.

Amanda: On me? Christopher Judge taped me into a chair with electrician tape just before a scene. It wasn't actually electrician's tape, it was the tape that they put our marks down with, so he tied me up with orange - which is my mark colour,
