Guy Pearce on Memory, Liam Neeson, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Memento

With director Martin Campbell’s Memory now playing in theaters, I recently conducted a wide-ranging interview with Guy Pearce, who plays an honest cop. In the film, Liam Neeson plays an expert assassin that’s dealing with getting older and suffering from a memory that is beginning to falter. When a job goes wrong because he refuses to kill a child, Neeson must figure out who hired him while staying ahead of the FBI and his failing memory. Memory also stars Monica Bellucci, Taj Atwal, Ray Fearon, and Harold Torres. The film is produced by Cathay Schulman, Moshe Diamant, Rupert Maconick, Michael Heimler, and Arthur Sarkissian.
During the interview, Pearce talked abut why he loved working with Neeson, making the film, his process on set, how he prepares for a role, what someone should watch if you’ve never seen his work, Memento, The Proposition, which of his roles required the most preparation, and what he remembers about making The Count of Monte Cristo. In addition, he talked about some of his future projects like A Spy Among Friends with Damian Lewis, director Andrew Hunt’s This Infernal Machine.

Guy Pearce smashes all his parts out of the park.

Pierce performance in Memory was amazing, texan accent and all...outstanding actor

Whoever runs this channel---perhaps Steve himself!---I hope the message gets to Frosty: Your interviews are so much more substantive than the usual press-tour rigmarole. What is ostensibly an interview with an actor for the purpose of promoting a movie, your interviews actually become a personal reflection on the part of the interviewee and a fun laid-back film-buff talk. You're the man Frosty!

He deserves far move views.

Really great interview. Such a relatable down to earth person. Some really interesting insights.

The Proposition is in my top 3 western movies. Right up there with Unforgiven and Stagecoach.

"Never meet your heroes..." guess I should never meet Guy then 😅
