Recently though, he scored a critical hit with upcoming Scottish drama <em>Dear Frankie<\/em> although box office success still eludes him. This time he tries something completely different, playing a masked madman in Joel Schumacher&#8217;s adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber&#8217;s stage musical <em>The Phantom Of The Opera<\/em>.<\/div>\n<div id=\"{A3290DD5-1A91-4A88-91EA-9A83C8D7645E}\"><span id=\"{339BD772-3403-428B-99A0-5042D84B3E7D}\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You haven&#8217;t had much experience in musicals so it seems strange that you should be cast in this&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Joel [Schumacher] called my agent and asked if I could  sing, even he wasn&#8217;t sure about it. He knew that I could sing but not  if I could handle something like this. I was dubious myself as to why  they were considering me for The Phantom until I read the script and  then I could completely understand why he came to me and why I would  want to play it. I read it as I was listening to the music and to me it  was a major experience because I felt I had to tell this guy&#8217;s story.  Without sounding pretentious, I felt his soul &#8211; all his passion and his  hopes and frustrations and, in the end, his tragedy. It was like it was  happening to me and I judge whether or not to do a part based on how  easily I slip into it while reading the script.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>With your lack of singing experience, did you have some trepidation about taking this on?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes and no. I have a level of fear going into every  project and that&#8217;s what keeps me going. If I&#8217;m being honest it was a  much higher level of fear with this than most other things because it  was a musical. But I&#8217;ve done a whole bunch of movies where I&#8217;ve come in  as the underdog but I have the tools and experience to deal with.  Basically you&#8217;ve juts got to use the pressure to make yourself work  harder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you have to do a lot of vocal training to prepare?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I started singing for The Phantom in January and we  started filming in October and I sang all the way through to the next  June. In fact I was singing for about two months before I even knew I  had the role because they pretty much said: &#8220;This role&#8217;s yours but we  just can&#8217;t say it yet but you&#8217;ve got to train as if it&#8217;s yours.&#8221; That&#8217;s a  weird position to be in because I didn&#8217;t know if they were then going  to turn around and say that somebody else had the role but still I sang  every day with my own musical teacher. When I went to Scotland to do  another movie I would sing with a coach up there and then when I went to  New York I sang with a coach over there &#8211; I mean I&#8217;ve now sung with  coaches in LA, New York, London, Glasgow, St Louis and Rio de Janeiro! I  felt like retiring after The Phantom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did acting behind a mask also present a challenge for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but it&#8217;s something you get used to. Again you use  it like a tool to help you become the character. There&#8217;s a reason he has  the mask and you make his reason your reason. Also you have to  understand the advantages of that mask insomuch as it&#8217;s something to  hide behind and it&#8217;s also a very powerful thing to behold. He  understands that because he wants to present the most intimidating and  sexy exterior he can. At first it was a bit strange and daunting to have  to wear a mask but afterwards I came to enjoy it.  In warm conditions  though it started to slip off my face. Other times they used this  double-sided sticky tape and I literally couldn&#8217;t get it off my face. I  would feel like I was ripping my face off and I had a lot of cuts and  bruises because of it &#8211; huge red marks. People might think it was method  acting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you find singing the dialogue rather unnatural?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This movie was such a steep learning curve for me because  I had never done that before &#8211; singing while trying to give a cinematic  performance. The temptation is to open your mouth and belt it out and  do something theatrical which would just be ghastly because every time  you open your mouth it&#8217;s 30ft wide on a big screen. Therefore I had to  learn devices and ways of keeping it subtle and truthful. Sometimes that  would mean that I would barely be singing or I would be much more  concentrated on the feeling of what he was going through. I was always  focused on that actually because that is the power of cinema &#8211; the eyes  of The Phantom could say so much more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re now gearing up to play the poet Robert Burns in a biopic. Is that another daunting prospect for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a way but I feel so lucky to have that opportunity  because it&#8217;s such a great story and we have the best script by Alan  Sharp, who wrote Rob Roy. I cajoled Julia Stiles into doing it but she  told me it was the best script she&#8217;d read in years so she&#8217;s on board and  we also have Brian Cox. We cover Burns&#8217; life from the ploughman days to  the Edinburgh society days and his take-off as a poet. It&#8217;s beautiful,  it&#8217;s passionate, it&#8217;s sexy, it&#8217;s hilarious and it&#8217;s really quite sad as  well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And you&#8217;ve got <em>The Game Of Their Lives<\/em> coming up  where you play a member of the American &#8216;soccer&#8217; team who beat the  English football team. Being Scottish you must relish the chance to beat  the English at football!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Actually I just find that very funny.  The Scots will do anything to beat the English or just to see them lose,  but I&#8217;ve never bought into that really. I was supporting England in the  World Cup, so for me it was very funny to pretend to be an  Italian-American but still stuff the English 1-0. It was amazing. We  went down to Rio de Janeiro in a soccer stadium there with thousands of  extras and played this game against the English &#8211; who were, funnily  enough, mostly Brazilians &#8211; but it&#8217;s great. I saw a cut about nine  months ago that I wasn&#8217;t very impressed with but I saw it again a couple  of days ago and it&#8217;s been tightened up and a few things added. I think  we have a movie on our hands now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: BBC Author: Stella Papamichael Originally published: 8 December 2004 After treading the boards in countless plays, Gerard Butler took roles in dubious movies like Reign Of Fire, Lara Croft: The Cradle Of Life and Richard Donner&#8217;s Timeline.
