We'll interview Mr Malcolm Langland.
He is a famous actor who plays the leading part
in the new Shakespeare play in London.
"Welcome to studio,Mr Langland."
"Thank you.It's a pleasure to be here."
"As the first question
I should like to ask you how your career in the theater started."
"Have you always wanted to be an actor?"
"No,I'm not really.When I was a student I hope to become a teacher."
"I sometimes dreams of being a famous star
but I grow up in a small town in the west.
People there don't have big dreams.
When I was young,I looked only what I saw was possible in our small town.
We live far away from the big cities.
We didn't even have a theater.
Films were shown in the school library,there wasn't a lot to do.
"When you were 18 years old you went to university in Lebanon.
You studied law,why didn't you study art?"
"Because my father didn't want me to study art.
He said that I could never find a good job as an art student.
My father wanted me to study medicine or engineering.
Well,I chose to study law,It was boring to me.
In my free time,I joined the students'club.
I spent many many evenings there.
We used to sing,dance and act on the stage."
"And when did you decide to become an actor?"
"When I met my wife Meryl in the students club.
She made me live in university and start a career with her in the thearter."
"You had a job in the theater before planning your first film.
How did that come about?
"In the first film I acted I was only given a small part.
It was the dream machine."
Keanu introduced me to the director.
I was only a beginning actor and didn't have any experience.
It was a small beginning but it was the beginning of my career.
