\"DominicMonaghan_Spider_640x360\"<\/a>Last night in North America marked the launch of the remarkable new nature series Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan<\/em><\/a>; and he kindly agreed to give TheOneRing.net an exclusive sit-down Q&A. The British actor, best known to Ringer fans as Meriadoc Brandybuck, is already receiving rave reviews from The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>and other press. His show premiered in this country on BBC America and will have a full season of eight episodes at 10:00pm Eastern, 9:00 Central.<\/p>\n

With the very funny TORn TUESDAY webcast<\/a> freshly completed, and Billy Boyd having left the Meltdown Comics studio, Dom took a more reflective moment to sit with host Cliff ‘Quickbeam’ Broadway and discuss his passion for, and desire to get closer to, those creatures least likely to inspire a kiss, yet all the more fascinating for his enthusiasm!<\/p>\n

———————————————————————————–<\/p>\n

Quickbeam:<\/strong> Dominic, congratulations on the launch of your new show!<\/p>\n

Dominic Monaghan:<\/strong> Well thanks. \u00a0Yeah – I\u2019m nervous about the launch, because it\u2019s just me. \u00a0You know, it\u2019s not me being incredibly well protected and insulated by a huge trilogy of movies and a big ensemble cast. \u00a0And also, it\u2019s something that I feel very protective and precious about – you know, it\u2019s like my little \u2018precious\u2019 One Ring. \u00a0The natural world is something that I\u2019m passionate about, and something that I want people to be compassionate about, because of the way that I feel about it \u2026 so, it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve really hosted something – especially something that\u2019s a significant portion of my life – and there\u2019s a vulnerability attached to that. \u00a0As an actor, you can always say, \u201cWell, they didn\u2019t like my character in Wolverine but maybe they just didn\u2019t like Wolverine, or they didn\u2019t like that character I played; or they didn\u2019t like my character in The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, but maybe they just didn\u2019t like that character or they don\u2019t like fantasy films \u2026 but with Wild Things<\/em>, if someone doesn\u2019t like it, there\u2019s a pretty high chance that they don\u2019t like ME. And that is something that you have to come to terms with. \u00a0And you know, I\u2019ve been an actor for twenty years now, so I\u2019m okay with people saying anything they want about me, but it does put you in a much more vulnerable position.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Well, you created this show, and the heart and the concept comes from your love of the great outdoors, and your affinity for the creatures in the natural world, with whom we share this planet. \u00a0How do you feel about the state of conservation efforts, and protection of wildlife efforts?<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> I did create the show; it\u2019s something that I\u2019m passionate about. \u00a0I think the thing that irks me the most about where we\u2019re at right now in our society, is \u2026 there\u2019s an automatic rejection of anything that\u2019s put forward as a notion in our society. \u00a0So, if someone says, \u2018Justin Bieber is great,\u2019 someone will automatically say, \u2018Justin Bieber is rubbish.\u2019 \u00a0And that\u2019s just because you can\u2019t please anyone all of the time. \u00a0My issue with the conservation situation is, people say, \u2018We need to change the way that we\u2019re behaving because we\u2019re creating global warming and we\u2019re changing our climate.\u2019 \u00a0And then other people come out and say, \u2018Climate change isn\u2019t real, that isn\u2019t what\u2019s happening – we\u2019re going through a natural change in the planet.\u2019 \u00a0My argument is, let\u2019s say for the sake of argument, global warming ISN\u2019T real – which I don\u2019t necessarily believe – but let\u2019s say it isn\u2019t real; why wouldn\u2019t we make positive changes to deal with our carbon footprint and how much of an impact we make on our planet? \u00a0We know for a fact that we create poisons and toxins by working in our industries and by driving our cars and moving our vehicles around. \u00a0If those poisons are toxic, they have to go somewhere; and even if they go somewhere that doesn\u2019t affect us, it affects the general balance of our galaxy. \u00a0We create a poison, and we go, \u2018Here you go planet – or galaxy – deal with it!\u2019 \u00a0That\u2019s a negative stance to take. \u00a0So my whole idea is, you can call us liberal and you can call us mong bean salad eaters, and you can call us hippies – and we wear hemp and all that kind of thing \u2026 but what we\u2019re trying to do is the right thing, I think. \u00a0It\u2019s the correct way to behave. \u00a0Make less waste, be responsible, be positive. \u00a0Treat everything living correctly.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> And appreciate the synergistic connections you have with other creatures on this planet.<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> Right. \u00a0We have a very \u2018overfaluted\u2019 idea of what humans are, and our place on the planet. \u00a0And outside of creating technology and art, we don\u2019t really do anything special, I don\u2019t think. \u00a0And the most damaging animal on the planet, I would say, is categorically a human. \u00a0And the most valuable animal on the planet is probably something like a worm, or an ant, or a small beetle. \u00a0Or a parasitic fly, or something like that – because of what they do. \u00a0They create fresh air, they till our soil, they pollinate our fruits and vegetables. \u00a0Humans don\u2019t even feature in the top fifty. \u00a0But we walk around like we\u2019re the bosses and like we know what\u2019s going on \u2026 meanwhile ants, millions of them living in very confined quarters \u2026 there\u2019s no murder, there\u2019s no rape, everyone gets fed, they look after their kids, they don\u2019t cause a carbon footprint, they take care of their trash. \u00a0And we shun them, we throw them off our picnic table! \u00a0These are important animals!<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Indeed. \u00a0What are some of the most appealing animals you\u2019ve encountered, during the first season of Wild Things<\/em>?<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> \u00a0I really like hymenoptera. \u00a0Hymenoptera\u2019s a class in the insect species which is bees, wasps and ants; they all come from the same place. \u00a0Essentially, an ant is a wingless wasp from an evolutionary point of view, and bees fit in there as well; highly social, sophisticated societies \u2026 they behave in a way that we understand, because we live in highly social, sophisticated societies. \u00a0I admire the way that they organize their communities, where they don\u2019t cause as much of a mess as we do!<\/p>\n

I wanted to tell those stories, but also I needed to tell – and I wanted to tell – dynamic stories in the invertebrate world, and that led me to things like the world\u2019s largest spider, the world\u2019s most dangerous aquatic insect, the world\u2019s most dangerous scorpion. \u00a0Nowadays, you have to stick yourself on the firing line a little bit – which I was more than happy to do, because I love these animals and I wanted to tell their stories. \u00a0There\u2019s an element of shocking the audience; but what I talk about with the world\u2019s largest spider is that, for me at least, that has the same cache as something like a great white shark or a bengal tiger. \u00a0When you say to someone, \u2018I went to find the world\u2019s largest spider,\u2019 they recoil; they go, \u2018How big was it, what does it look like?!\u2019 \u00a0It\u2019s the same feeling as a great white shark. \u00a0So I wanted to show that you can go to these places. \u00a0It might not be really easy to access those places; but you can go there, you can have an amazing experience with these animals; and they\u2019re not out to get you! \u00a0They don\u2019t wake up in the morning and think, \u2018Where\u2019s a human? \u00a0I need a human to eat!\u2019 \u00a0Spiders don\u2019t act like that. \u00a0If you hurt them or damage them, or come into their territory, they might protect themselves; but they\u2019re not out to get us.<\/p>\n

Q: \u00a0<\/strong>There\u2019s an interesting approach to telling these animals\u2019 stories; we anthropomorphize them. \u00a0We attach certain human qualities to some of these creatures; have you noticed that, while you were making the show?<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> Yeah, we talk about \u2018nasty spiders\u2019 or we talk about \u2018vicious snakes\u2019 or \u2018man killing sharks\u2019. \u00a0These are animals that have unfortunately got themselves into a situation that they don\u2019t want to be in, which is coming into contact with a human. \u00a0Sharks do not want to go around us; they\u2019re not interested in going around us. \u00a0Not only are we not good eating, but we\u2019re going to cause a lot of trouble for that shark; we\u2019re probably either going to – they think – kill it, or the fishermen will come back and kill it later. \u00a0And with these animals like bees and wasps, and scorpions and spiders – all these things that have venom that can hurt us – that venom is very, very important to that animal. \u00a0It\u2019s a very sophisticated amount of proteins that they create, and it takes a lot of energy for them to create that venom; so they don\u2019t give it away cheaply. You\u2019d have to really annoy a spider for it to envenomate you, because they use it when they really need it. \u00a0So my feeling with people when they talk about, \u2018Urgh, bees, they\u2019re so scary!\u2019 \u00a0– I\u2019m just like, look, if you get away from the hysterical four year old that\u2019s living inside you, that was at one point stung by a bee – and generally, you know, it hurts when you\u2019re a little kid – nowadays if you get stung by a bee, it\u2019s annoying, it\u2019s not your favourite part of your day, but it\u2019s not going to ruin your day.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> \u00a0What is the coolest, most exotic place you went to visit?<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> Gosh \u2026 hmmm – the geographical place that sticks in my head from the first season was Laos, southeast Asia. \u00a0I\u2019ve been to Thailand a few times, loved it; I got told that Thailand was like Laos, fifty years ago. \u00a0You know, not very built up; great street food; great people – they\u2019re all Buddhist, very very chilled out, very keen to help; amazing natural flora and fauna everywhere – mountains and greenery. \u00a0The main thing that really struck me about Laos was the food; when we were in Vientiane, which is the capital city, we\u2019d wake up and go for breakfast – and you\u2019d have really fresh, spicy fish soup for breakfast. \u00a0I love spicy food! \u00a0I was like, \u2018Ah, this is heaven!\u2019 \u00a0The people were so friendly, they went out of their way to help you – lovely nature; they all love Manchester United, which works for me [laughs<\/em>] \u2026 and you know, it\u2019s very exotic. \u00a0You\u2019re eating stuff that you\u2019ve never seen before – it\u2019s all so fresh…<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> You can\u2019t pronounce what you\u2019re eating!<\/p>\n

\"Dom628x471\"<\/a>DM:<\/strong> Yeah, you just go [points<\/em>], \u2018Can I have that please?\u2019 \u00a0Yeah, great country.<\/p>\n

I really liked Cameroon as well. \u00a0Very different, Cameroon. \u00a0Lots of red and brown clay everywhere, in terms of the colour scheme of the country. \u00a0The people that we went to see didn\u2019t have a lot; they lived in houses where the electricity was turned off at 9pm \u2026 they didn\u2019t have an abundance of food or water, or even clothing – stuff like that \u2026 [but] so happy, so sweet. \u00a0All the little kids just wanted to get picked up, and play, and hang out with you \u2026 I was doing silly little magic tricks that they liked \u2026 and you know, stray dogs running around everywhere… \u00a0The food wasn\u2019t fantastic in Cameroon but the spirit of the people was amazing, you know? \u00a0They\u2019re all very entrepreneurial – they genuinely are. \u00a0They really have nothing, and you see them making kids\u2019 toys out of little bits of broken wood and rubbish, you know, trash that you would throw out – and these little kids have got these little remote control cars made out of elastic bands and plastic bottles and stuff. \u00a0Very, very innovative – I loved Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> What was the biggest challenge you had, in creating and pitching this show?<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> I think the biggest challenge pitching the show was convincing the people who were giving me the money that I could do the job; because I think all they\u2019d been exposed to, as a general rule, was me in Lord of the Rings, and me in Lost, and maybe a couple of other things that they might have seen \u2026 so they\u2019re probably sat there, being very polite, thinking, \u2018OKAY, what does this English actor know about tropical species? And why are we giving him an inordinate amount of money to fly a six man crew to Vietnam or Malaysia \u2026 and he gets there and goes, \u201cI\u2019m not doing that, and I\u2019m not doing that – and I\u2019m not eating that, and it\u2019s too hot, and where\u2019s my hotel?\u201d ‘ \u00a0I think there was a feeling of, \u2018What is this even going to be?\u2019<\/p>\n

So I would sit in these meetings and just talk at length about my passion about animals, and I think that opened people up a little bit; and then I went to the Malibu mountains with a friend of mine, and we shot footage of me catching lizards and catching velvet ants – this type of wingless wasp – and catching snakes, and checking out animal tracks and stuff – just to show that \u2026<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> You\u2019re an outdoorsman!<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> Yeah. \u00a0I mean, I like being outside and I go to Joshua Tree a lot; spend some time out there \u2026 whenever I\u2019m countries I tend to go into the wilderness and see what\u2019s available. \u00a0I know what to look for, where the animals are going to be – and I think people needed to be educated on that. \u00a0Hopefully, now that the show is going to be available for an audience, the audience will feel the same way.<\/p>\n

I also didn\u2019t want to come across as a professor, because I\u2019m not – or a learned guy, when I\u2019m not. \u00a0I\u2019m a very, very enthusiastic animal lover – and if you put me in a biology class in university, I\u2019ll embarrass myself! \u00a0But if you put me with a group of people on the street, and they say, \u2018Pick a holiday\u2019 – you know, some people might say, \u2018Go to Cabo San Lucas,\u2019 or some people might say, \u2018Go to Vegas for the weekend.\u2019 \u00a0But I would say, \u2018Where\u2019s the furthest you\u2019ll fly me, that\u2019s the most remote?\u2019 \u00a0I want to escape – travel for me is all about escape. \u00a0I want to go somewhere where I don\u2019t know the currency, where I don\u2019t know the language, where I don\u2019t know the food – and just try new stuff. \u00a0I mean, any time I\u2019m trying new stuff, I\u2019m not bored – and I\u2019m very susceptible to getting bored!<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Perhaps you\u2019re a kindred spirit with Viggo, who is also a master outdoorsman!<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> Yeah, he really is a very, very gifted outdoorsman, and unintimidated by being out there. \u00a0A true artist. \u00a0You know, I think my abiding memory – although obviously he\u2019s still around! – but my abiding thought about Viggo is the artistry of the man. \u00a0He\u2019s obviously a very talented actor, but you know, Viggo\u2019s an accomplished poet, a fantastic painter, a brilliant photographer; he acts in different aspects, in theatre, in film; he\u2019s a singer, he\u2019s a writer \u2026 \u00a0I was inspired by his \u2026 almost need to get out his art. \u00a0And he continues to be like that. \u00a0I saw him in London, in this hotel room – and he just had stuff everywhere! \u00a0Letters and posters and paint and scarves and DVDs and books – and he\u2019s passing me this \u00a0– \u2018Read that! \u00a0Watch that! \u00a0Do this! \u00a0Here\u2019s that!\u2019 \u00a0Every time you see Viggo, you walk out with stuff; you\u2019re like [mimes arms loaded with stuff<\/em>], \u2018Yeah, alright – I\u2019ll see you in a week – I\u2019ll check this stuff out!\u2019 \u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s an inspirational guy.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> One of the animals that you encountered in the preview [for Wild Things<\/em>] was the monocle cobra. \u00a0It was surprising that you were looking for some other creatures, and accidentally stumbled across this deadly snake! \u00a0Unexpected… and you had a six-man crew with you. \u00a0Did anybody encounter any bites; what danger was your crew in?<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> \u00a0We were lucky enough to not get tagged by the monocle cobra! \u00a0I think what happened was, we were in the paddy field looking for this giant water bug, and I noticed when we were in the paddy field that we were rustling mice and rats out of the paddy field \u2026 because they sleep there in the daytime. They\u2019re nocturnal species, obviously. \u00a0And I noticed a little [makes rustling noise] moving in the paddy grass, the paddy rice – and I thought, \u2018What\u2019s going on there? \u00a0Oh, that\u2019s probably a mouse – and that\u2019s probably a rat…\u2019 \u00a0And it happened two or three times \u2026 and we were flushing – we were walking, and we were flushing these mice out of this field as we were spreading apart \u2026 and what happened was, when we got to part of the end of the field, this snake was coming into the field, thinking, \u2018What is going on here?\u2019 \u00a0There\u2019s three or four mice running around in the middle of the day – and that\u2019s unusual. \u00a0You\u2019ll hear me, at the start of that scene – I say to the cameraman, \u2018Go that way, go that way, go that way!\u2019 \u00a0And that\u2019s me saying to my entire crew – who were all behind the cameraman – \u2018Spread out! \u00a0Go FAR that way!\u2019 – because it was a venomous snake, and I knew it was a cobra. \u00a0\u00a0And as soon as the crew is safe, and my only concern now is protecting me, then I can attempt to control the situation – but I can\u2019t control five other grown men, you know! \u00a0So you\u2019ll hear me in the show going, \u2018Move back move back move back!\u2019 – and that\u2019s me talking to the crew all the time!<\/p>\n

\"dominic-monaghan-wild-things-bbca\"<\/a>No-one got hit by the snake, but my medic, who\u2019s an ex-military guy and has been in a few combat situations, was stung by a bullet ant when we were in Ecuador, and they\u2019re aptly named, because it\u2019s supposed to feel like you\u2019ve been shot by a bullet – and he spent two days in bed! \u00a0He got stung about 11am, left that day – he was like, \u2018I feel awful, I\u2019m going to have to go and take care of this\u2019 – and we didn\u2019t see him until a day later; so all that day he slept, the next day he was in bed sleeping, and then we saw him the day after that! \u00a0We were like, \u2018Are you ok?\u2019 and he said, \u2018Yeah, I spent two days essentially feeling like my thumb was being constantly hit by a hammer, just pounding, pounding…\u2019 \u00a0And he took a fair amount of anti-inflammatories and anti-histamines, and it didn\u2019t do any good to him!<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> I\u2019ve never heard of this creature!<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> The bullet ant<\/strong>! \u00a0It is a formidable looking ant! \u00a0It\u2019s big, it\u2019s scary looking – they\u2019ll come at you! \u00a0I have one on a stick in the Ecuador episode, and they\u2019ll jump as well – so I\u2019m constantly looking at the camera, looking at the ant, looking at the camera, looking at the ant… [laughs]<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> \u00a0Here in America, I grew up watching a show called Mutual of Omaha\u2019s Wild Kingdom<\/em>. \u00a0And Wild Kingdom<\/em> was THE thing to watch, when you were a kid in the Seventies; we didn\u2019t have any other nature documentaries. There were no other shows covering the natural world. It was fascinating! \u00a0Even though they covered the basics – you know, the great mammals of the Serengeti – things that we\u2019ve seen over and over again since then; but it created in me a lifelong fascination and affinity for the beasts and the birds and the natural world. And I think that\u2019s why a lot of us Ringer fans feel so much towards Radagast; as we feel connected to those descriptions of the natural world in the books.<\/p>\n

DM: \u00a0<\/strong>Yeah, you and I have had almost the same journey with our natural history. \u00a0When I was younger, I was brought up on David Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau – it was the same. \u00a0There was a very small amount of nature shows being made, and the ones that were being made were high quality – but it was maybe once every couple of months you\u2019d see something. \u00a0There\u2019s much more around nowadays. The interesting thing about the \u2018good guys\u2019 in The Lord of the Rings<\/em> – certainly the Fellowship, everyone associated with the Fellowship, everyone associated with the alliance against Sauron and Saruman – they\u2019re all connected to the earth. Hobbits are very connected to the earth; men are; wizards are; elves are; dwarves are. Dwarves are probably the least so, but even dwarves have a connection with the rock and the stone and the mountain; elves love forests; humans spend a lot of time \u2026 I mean, Aragorn obviously lives in the forest, he\u2019s an outcast. Arwen controls water; the hobbits know where to find stuff in the forest, and how to eat off the land. \u00a0And obviously, the relationship with Treebeard is significant. \u00a0So, I think Tolkien saw that there is a real positive, good element to being connected to your world, to knowing about your local environment – you know, the trees and the plants and the animals and the birds, and how it all works.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Fantastic! \u00a0I wish you huge success with the North American launch of your show.<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> Oh thank you. \u00a0Me too!<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> I\u2019m really excited to see some of the places that are way off the beaten path – as you described – because of the discovery of something new, that you don\u2019t have every day in your life. \u00a0Many people go through life in the drudgery of the same routine, without ever discovering new things; it is so uplifting, it will raise your consciousness of the world you\u2019re in – and I applaud you on that.<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> I appreciate that alot. \u00a0And thanks for giving me your time. \u00a0I think that, nowadays, it\u2019s very hard to – not necessarily shock people – but to wake people up out of that feeling that they\u2019re in; nothing is that interesting anymore, and nothing is that shocking, because they\u2019ve seen everything on google, and they can access everything so quickly. \u00a0And I think we\u2019re losing that almost childlike enthusiasm about things that genuinely awesome. \u00a0You know, we bandy around the word \u2018awesome\u2019 a lot – a hotdog is awesome, or my trousers are awesome or my shoes are awesome – but the natural world, the way that our planet works, the way that our universe slots into place so beautifully — that is genuinely awesome. \u00a0And I\u2019m hoping that if people watch the show, and they explore around, they\u2019ll find things like a spider\u2019s eye awesome; or that fact that a bumblebee can fly. Awesome.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> \u00a0Thank you Dominic. \u00a0We\u2019ll see you on the show – BBC America<\/a>, 10pm Eastern, 9pm Central, Tuesday – Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

DM:<\/strong> One episode a week for eight weeks – and then we\u2019re in talks right now to do the second season… and I\u2019ll bring Billy Boyd with me for the second season! \u00a0[laughs<\/em>] \u00a0I don\u2019t think we\u2019d get \u00a0much work done to be honest…<\/p>\n
