Nick Griffiths on how the Desperate Housewives star was transformed from sex god to Pig Man.
"Ryan Carnes is a good-looking chap.
LA tan, a flash of brilliant teeth. For three
seasons, the US actor played Desperate
Housewives' Justin, love interest
to Andrew Van De Kamp. So did the
Doctor Who producers tell him how
his character, Laszlo, would look?
"Sort of," he replies, laughing.
A Millennium FX prosthetic turns
Laszlo into a half-man/half-pig fusion,
the result of a Dalek experiment that
went wrong. "I was very impressed,"
notes Carnes. "I thought, 'I almost look
like a person who's been distorted in a real
way. Like I'm not wearing a mask'."
The only problem was talking through
that enormous denture. Parts of Carnes's
dialogue had to be re-recorded later
because, he explains, "It sounded like
I had a mouthful of marbles." And in
one scene with co-star Miranda Raison,
who plays a showgirl, "It was a really
dramatic moment, very intense - and
my pig teeth flew out of my mouth!"
And the Daleks? "Seeing one of
them for the first time was trippy.
I thought, 'How scary can an upside-down
trash can with an eggbeater
and a plunger really be?' And all of a
sudden it moved and I was like, 'Holy
c**p! All right - I'm a believer!'"
