Watch Robert Carlyle talking about the highlights of his colourful career in showbiz in this latest video featurette to be added to the sites media collection.
Scottish actor Robert Carlyle says playing Adolf Hitler in the epic mini-series Hitler: The Rise of Evil has been his toughest role to date.
The star of hit movies including The Full Monty, Trainspotting and James Bond’s The World Is Not Enough told Yahoo! Singapore in an exclusive interview that it was extremely difficult to witness the reaction of the film crew when he was portraying the leader of the German Nazis in the 2003 TV mini-series.
“A lot of the crew working on set were Jewish and a lot of stuff were anti-Jewish, anti-semantic. I had to say all those stuff and I would spot some of the crew’s reactions. I know it’s not me but it’s really hard for them to accept,” said the 49-year-old, who was born in Glasgow, Scotland.
But the veteran actor said he made it a point to speak to his Jewish colleagues right after the scene was shot.
“I went down to embrace them and they were like, don’t worry, its fine. But it wasn’t fine, you know,” he said.

Hollywood actress and former star of hit TV drama series ”E.R”, Ming Na, reveals she is toying with the idea of moving to Singapore.
The star of movies such as The Joy Luck Club, Street Fighter and One Night Stand told Yahoo! Singapore in an exclusive interview that she’s keen to follow in the footsteps of Chinese actors Jet Li and Gong Li, who recently took up Singapore citizenship.
“I really love Singapore,” said the 46-year-old Chinese American.
Remembering her last visit to Singapore, she said, “It was 11 years ago! I was there for a play, the Asian premiere of David Hwang’s Golden Child at the Victoria Theatre.”
“When I was in Singapore, I thought it was absolutely the perfect place to retire. It might be a good dream to retire there some day. The weather [in Singapore] is so good and everywhere is clean. I can’t believe how the malls can sell the best food, especially the food courts. I wished we had that in the States,” she said.
Born in Macau, Na and her family immigrated to the U.S. when she was at the tender age of four. Today, she lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Eric Michael Zee and two children, Michaela, 10, and Cooper, 5.

A Fine Young Man, a 13 minute film starring Paul McGillion (Dr. Carson Beckett from Stargate: Atlantis), was selected as one of 40 films to be featured in the Short Cuts Canada Lineup this year.
The film is set in 1962, in the middle of the Cold War. With the fear of nuclear attack a constant worry, the United States is trying to beat Russia to the punch. As the short teaser puts it “(t)hey’ve been looking for someone like Pete.
Someone honest, upstanding and true. Someone they can put their faith in.” But Pete may not be as squeaky clean as one might think. This dark satire also stars Ali Liebert, Wesley Salter, and Cole Humphrey who plays the aforementioned Pete.
The film was written and directed by newcomer Kevan Funk, who has won awards for his previous shorts Grow Up Kids, A Suburban Tragedy, The Oceanographer, as well as Death and a Salesman.
