Scottish actor Peter Mullan, whose credits include The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Westworld, Harry Potter, and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, passed through Series Mania in Lille this week, where he participated in what turned out to be one of the festival’s most raucous masterclass sessions.
Mullan appeared alongside French journalist Charlotte Blum, who chaired the session and quizzed the Scotsman on his decades-long career and his philosophy of acting.
“The thing with acting like any form of play is that it’s fun when you are playing,” Mullan said. “A footballer can relive the moment of scoring the goal, but it’s not as much fun as scoring the goal.

Pulling from his experience working with actors with differing approaches to the craft, he said: “Kevin Spacey would watch himself all day long. He never fucking stops. The man is an asshole.”
Spacey and Mullan worked together on the 2000 crime caper Ordinary Decent Criminal, also starring Colin Farrell and Christoph Waltz.
Mullan continued on Spacey: “You would no sooner finish a scene with him, and he’d run to the monitor to watch playback. I used to wonder, why are you doing that? They’d barely shout cut, and he’d run. It took me a while to realize that he was checking if the cheat had worked because he was so fake. Everything about him was fake. So he can play fake because he is fake.”
Mullan added that he learned a lot about acting by watching what he described as Spacey’s fraudulent practice. But he highlighted several times that he “didn’t like him at all.”
“A horrible human being. But fascinating to watch because he was so
