Interview with Joe Depsie

July 10th, 2008

Chris Miles may have left our lives for good, but in the real world, outside of Skins, (which sometimes we forget isn’t real) Joe Dempsie is alive and well you’ll be pleased to know. 4Talent caught up with Joe to find out how it feels to be shouted at in the street, and what his plans for the future are.

One of life's favourite caners

Joe’s already got an episode of Doctor Who under his belt (‘The Doctor’s Daughter’, fact fans) and there’s plenty more where that came from, thank you very much. “After being in Skins, I want to wait ’til the right project comes along. It has been a great platform” Dempsie would, however, like to work with director Shane Meadows (This is England, Dead Man Walking), who is also from Joe’s home town of Nottingham and who casts from the same Nottingham drama group that launched Dempsie. "I would love to work with him and I like the way he works too; his films have a really natural feel and are always plot driven."

Where it all began

Joe recalls the first time the potential success of Skins hit him. "I remember the advertising campaign for Skins. We had no idea how big it was going to be," he says. "You know CentrePoint in London - they have a huge billboard there and Skins was on it. I remember looking at it thinking, this programme is going to be big. Ironically enough it was during that period a year ago when there were really high winds and it blew off." Luckily that didn’t affect the show too much. In fact, every billboard in the UK could have blown off in some freak Wizard of Oz style accident, and people would still be talking about THAT trailer , before the show had even aired. Luckily, Skins lived up to the hype, winning a load of awards to boot.

So what’s it like playing such a popular, likable character? Chris, er Joe says "I am much more boring that he is!" Isn’t everyone? He says the most awkward situations are when people notice him walking by and shout out, ‘SKINS!’ or ‘CHRIS!’ "I am not going to shout back, ‘Oh! Lovely!’ So I just keep walking."

Before Skins or ‘BS’ as we refer to it, Joe actually trained for 7 years at the Central Junior Television Workshop in Nottingham and then Skins came along. "For me, it was all about right place at the right time" he admits. We can honestly say we’re pleased he came into our lives; we couldn’t imagine another Chris, it doesn’t bear thinking about.

Joe Dempsie Criticises The Foals

April 17th, 2008

Skins star Joe Dempsie has blasted indie rockers Foals for dismissing the significance of their appearance on the TV show.

Dempsie argued that Foals were given a leg-up by performing on the Channel 4 drama series and said the Oxford rockers’ attitude had got the cast’s "backs up".
He told NME: "They may deny it, but Foals did very well out of appearing in the episode we did on MySpace last summer.

"I think they’re great, but they seemed to rubbish their involvement in Skins, which got our backs up a little bit. They seemed to be stressing over the fact they’d never watched the show. But whatever. They’re a good band and they seem to be doing really well."

Foals released there debut album Antidotes on March 24. Lead singer Yannis Philippakis recently said the group would try to avoid the limelight whenever possible.

S2E05: Synopsis [SPOILER]

March 9th, 2008

Episode 5: Chris

Written by Ben Schiffer
Directed by Harry Enfield

Chris’ college career has been a long road full of tribulations; drugs, petty theft, non attendance and resounding failure. So when the CCTV cameras catch him shagging Buck Tooth in the Science corridor, the College Director calls time. Chris is out. And out of his college accommodation as well. Homeless, family-less, Chris is going down hill fast, until Jal steps in with a challenge. She’ll try to unwind a little so long as he gets his act together and gets some focus. So Chris gets a job, several jobs, in fact every time he’s fired he gets another one, and he moves into the smallest bed-sit in Bristol. So Jal’s got to chill out, and wow when she does she’s pretty gorgeous, and talented, and cool, and… Could Chris have had his eyes opened wider than any drug could do?

Also guest starring Harry Enfield, Siwan Morris and Stephen Critchlow
