Pierce Brosnan on Today Show

Kyle King — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:31:56 +0000

Today, February 4th, Pierce Brosnan talked to Matt Lauer on the Today Show about his role in Percy Jackson as Professor Brunner/Chiron.

Highlights from the interview

Brosnan talked about how he feels that he can play any role anywhere. That is how he was trained as an actor.

Brosnan said how he signed up for 3 Percy Jackson Movies!

Dylan, his 13 year old son, is a huge fan of the books and the driving force for Brosnan to take the role.

Brosnan said that he is playing the role for both of his boys, Dylan (13) and Paris (8).

Worked with Chris Columbus, the director, in Mrs. Doubtfire and loved the script when he read it.

One thing that he hopes never gets seen is the blue spandex pants that he had to wear while filming as Chiron.

My take

I enjoyed watching Brosnan on the Today Show and I always love it when an actor or actress says that they are doing a movie for their kids. I am so excited that Brosnan is signed up for 3 Percy Jackson movies! That would be awesome if there was even that many! I am hoping for all 5 books made into movies! Great interview Pierce Brosnan, can’t wait to see you on the big screen!

Pierce Brosnan as Chiron

Name: Pierce Brosnan

Date of Birth: May 16, 1953

Hometown: Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland

Facts: Pierce Brosnan was born in Navan, County Meath, Ireland on May 16, 1953 and lived in Navan, County Meath until he moved to England, UK at an early age (thus explaining his ability to play men from both backgrounds convincingly). His father left the household when Pierce was a child and although reunited later in life, the two have never had a close relationship. His most popular role is that of British secret agent James Bond. The death, in 1991, of Cassandra Harris, his wife of eleven years, left him with three children – Christopher and Charlotte from Cassandra’s first marriage and Sean from their marriage. Since her death, he has had two children with his second wife, Keely Shaye Smith.

Who he is playing: Chiron

What I think about him playing the role: I like Pierce as an actor and he’s good at playing more serious roles. Of what I have seen of him in the trailers, he seems to play Chiron pretty well. At first I was like oh great Pierce Brosnan is in The Lightening Thief, but once I saw him on the trailer my attitude turned positive instantly.
