While you might not knowGraham McTavish’sname, I’m sure you’ve seen his work. Over the past thirty years, McTavish has appeared in so many fan-favorite TV shows and movies it would be impossible to list them all. Here’s a few of highlights: The Saint of Killers onPreacher, Dougal MacKenzie onOutlander, Dwalin inThe Hobbittrilogy, voice work in shows and video games likeCastlevania,DuckTales,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, andUncharted, plus small but memorable roles inLost,Creed,Colony,Rambo, andsomuch more (check out his full resumehere).
With McTavish briefly stopping by Los Angeles a few days ago, I got to sit down with him for an extended interview in the Collider studio. During the wide-ranging conversation, McTavish talked about behind-the-scenes stories fromPreacher, working withJoe Gilgun, being a huge fan of the source material, keeping his role inAquamana secret, filmingOutlanderin Scotland, his favorite brands of Scotch, fanboying at the sight ofSylvester Stallonebefore appearing inRambo, nabbing props from the set of theHobbittrilogy, appearing in arguably the best episode ofLost, and more.
Plus, we asked McTavish to play a round of “Ice Breakers”, which included questions like which TV show you would want to play a guest spot on, favorite sci-fi/fantasy movie, what you collect, if you own any movie/TV show props, and more.
Check out what he had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
