Will Young seeks acting roles

Will Young is hoping to land more acting roles

 

Will Young is desperate to pursue his acting career after turns in a film and a play.

 

The former Pop Idol winner had roles in Dame Judi Dench's movie Mrs Henderson Presents and the Noel Coward play Vortex and said he loves acting.

"The acting is something where I'm desperate for more jobs," said Will. "I just absolutely love it and it's finding the right parts."

 

 

 

 

Will has said getting acting jobs when you're a singer is particularly hard in the UK.

He said: "To make the transition from doing one genre of performing into two is harder, and harder in this country.

"But I relish the challenge and I just have to stick at it and show people that I'm serious and get the auditions. When I get the auditions I love it."

Will is keen to turn his hand to the small screen. He said: "I'd really love to do a TV thing. I loved the play but I'd love to do TV, maybe even something with comedy because I love to do the humorous things in my videos and even in the Coward play there was comedy in there, with the timing. I think it would be really interesting and a new thing for me."

He added: "The good thing about acting is it's quite neutralising, suddenly you are playing someone else and it's interesting what it does to your public persona."

 

Thanks to willsdoc.

Thanks TT, I'd love him to do something on tv next I think, I'm sure he'd be quite good as chat show host even, as he's very enthusiastic about people and their lives, as well as being a nosey bugger. :D

Will's featured in the Heat and Star mags today, both TV guide promotions for the South Bank Show on the 17th of March. :D

Thanks suggy can't wait to see SBS :dance:

Crooners past & present. :)

Grand tunes and big pop ballads make Will Young a modern day Frank Sinatra. His charm and earnest delivery endears him to even the most cold hearted. He beat Gareth Gates for a reason, you know.

 

Thanks to Jan on Devoted.

Thanks TT, that's a good top 10. :cool:

LIG just missed the top 40 <_< it was #41 :D

I wonder if SBS will help sales of the album...it's a shame it only get's an average audience of 1 million.

I'm hoping Will will bump up the viewing figures a bit as he did with Question Time.

 

Happy with the album position with 9 new entries above him. :)

Thanks TT, Will looks like he's been shopping at Oxfam again, then again, his coat might be one of those

designer ones that cost a packet. :lol:

I have found the ImdB page for James Purefoy. Quite a long career so far.

Thanks for these & all the other pics munchkin. I love this man. :heart:

 

He looks very cute in those photos, thanks for them! :)

There's a little article in the Bizarre section of today's Sun (I picked up a discarded part of a copy on the tube, wouldn't normally buy it :blush:), about Matthew Horne praising Will's appearance on his and James Corden's show.

Might Will be on tonight's episode?

I'm sure I read on Devoted he's on the last episode Toni. Must be saving the Best till last. :D

 

Thanks for the info re: Horne & Corden, TT. :) Glad it's not on tonight, as there're always plenty of people who manage to miss Will when he's on just one programme, let alone two! :o :)

Thanks to Bumbling. :)
