Warren Clarke’s no action man

Apr 27 2008 by Ian Robson, Sunday Sun

WARREN CLARKE says working on his new comedy The Invisibles was one of the hardest jobs he has ever done.

The script called for lots of action scenes, which the portly actor found demanding.

Warren plays old lad Syd next to Anthony Head, who plays his pal Maurice.

Warren said: “The script says Syd and Maurice jump off this building. And I go, yeah, right.

“Syd and Maurice run up this street being chased by dogs, Syd and Maurice escape on a boat, Syd jumps from the deck.

“I’m not sure the series has given me a new lease of life, but I have worked harder on this than I’ve worked for a long time . . . running, jumping, falling over and falling down.

“I haven’t done all my own stunts, it’s impossible, and I wouldn’t be allowed to anyway!”

V THE INVISIBLES, BBC1, Thursday, 9pm.
