Q. Was it nice for you to play a character that has layers
that are slowly revealed throughout the film?
Marc: Has it got layers? Ok, good. I think what I liked
about it is, cos I've played a lot of nutters early in my career
so it was nice to be a reformed nutter. That was the attraction
for me and, plus, I got offered it, so...
Q. On the subject of the hooliganism, the production
notes suggest that you have friends, perhaps, that like to venture
into this world?
Mark: Did I say that? I'm really going to have to think
about what I say. I have met a couple of people who are quite
interested in that. He's told me about the pre-arranged fights
and the clothing that they wear. Yeah, they meet up in graveyards
or wherever and just beat the crap out of each other.

Q. Did that help inform the
back story of your character?
Mark: No, I didn't look into it at all. I was aware of
it from him. But I was playing someone who was reformed from it
so it wasn't really relevant. It was just leading a normal life
as well, which is where my character was at. So it was all in
the past.
Q. Did participating in some of the fight sequences make
you question how you would fare in such a situation?
Mark: I'd run; I'd definitely run. Fighting scares me
to death. But I remember somebody telling me it's not the big
guys you worry about, it's the little ones. There's this saying
- it's not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog. It's
the little ones that are the nutters because they've got more
to prove. But I've never been in a fight and it scares me to death.
Don't touch the face!
