.ScottThompson_ on his portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II on KITHOnline and what her image meant to Canadians such as him
, we asked Thompson to reflect on his portrayal of the world’s most recognizable figure and what her image meant to Canadians such as him.
My mother loved the queen. I mean, we had so many coffee-table books. When you walked into our house, in the foyer, there was a small picture of my family and then a large picture of the royal family. My father was the same way. We would have these family reunions, and my father and his brother and sister would dress up, with my father quite often dressing as the queen. So when I look at her, I see my father. I see the history of the Anglo world. I see the end of an era. It’s complicated.
My whole thing with that character was that I wanted to portray a real person, the human, the woman not even that she was, but how I wanted her to be: fun and a girl, in love and a little nutty. It’s a very complicated thing, and it’s odd because I understand the whole idea of monarchy and the royal world — it’s kind of a strange holdover from our past, our medieval past, or our pagan past.
I can’t screw around with this. They’re looking at me in a way that they don’t look at my other characters
