- After a couple of technical difficulties, we were finally able to get this interview under way between me, Jamaal Finkley, and the Merry Men as they are called in their new movie Robin Hood. In this interview you will see what they all have in common, and they show an appreciation for Glee.
Concomitant to the legend of Robin Hood is the story of his Merry Men, here a band of fellows disil- lusioned with life under the newly anointed King John. Fellow yeomen in Richards war, they accom- pany Robin back to England after the death of Richard allows them to escape the conflicts.
irrepressible sense of humor. Its been a great benefit to me and to Ridley, and no doubt the movie, that weve had guys like this playing these roles.
Crowe notes that each of the men brings a talent to their parts that mirrors their on-screen characters. Scotts an incredible singer, he commends. Kevin has the coordination of a ballet dancer, yet the physi- cality of an ice hockey player; he is 6 feet 7 and 235 pounds. He also has a great singing voice. Then theres Alan, who has never acted. Hes a folk singer from Newfoundland, and he knows how to play the lute. I said to Ridley, If youre going to have a guy playing the troubadour, lets have a guy who knows how to play the lute. That way, if you dont like a particular tune, you can change it then and there. He also has a wonderful singing voice. Thats a key element with the Merry Men.
Portraying the troupe are Kevin Durand as Robins right hand and muscle, Little John; Scott Grimes as the youngest of the gang, Will Scarlet; and acting newcomer Alan Doyle as minstrel Allan ADayle. Says Crowe: The core thing with these guys is that they are all athletes, and they all have a physical side to what they do in the film. Added to that, they are all intelligent, so they can learn new skills quickly. They also have an the news of Sir Robert Loxleys (played by DOUGLAS HODGE) sudden death to Sir Walter. A beekeeper and reluctant servant of the crown, Tuck all too readily becomes part of Robins band of usurpers.

Even as a young child in the small Newfoundland f ishingvillageofPettyHar- bour, ALAN DOYLE (Allan ADayle) was holding up a sign
that said Look at Me. Petty Harbour is a small
f ishingvillage,locateddeep amidst the rugged shoreline of Canadas most isolated prov- ince. Known worldwide for its stunning beauty and unique
dialect, Newfoundland is a place that holds tight to its traditional culture. When Doyle was a boy, his home village was small and close-knit, with only one small winding road connecting it to the world. The Atlantic Ocean was the towns front yard and playground.R A BlackTree Media Production Thank you for watching!
Kevin's the best.I love his smile.
R.I.P. headphone users each time there's a new take
"a roll is a roll and a toll is a toll and if we don't get no tolls then we don't get no rolls"
Kevin's reaction to the poster falling was so real
Only thing missing is Crowe's deep voice - then this is very much perfect! :D
I love when they sing that song in the movie.. Awesome.. =)
Funnier than heck when the poster fell down. This was a good interview. Thank you for sharing with us.
I love the middles guys face at the end

I love Kevin Durand!!!
HIGH FIVE!
holy shit, that big fella is ripped
"We'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France and it'l ROw me bullie boys row"
Watch Legion when he plays Gabriel....the man is just full of pure HOTNESS...where has he been...the sad part is he never plays any major roles just alot of the supporting actor roles...TIME FOR A BREAK OUT ROLE KEVIN..preferably NAKED
Yes, Mr. Durand, I enjoyed that shirtless scene a lot, thank you very much!
The interviewer could've had some better questions, though, the actors had to do all the work for him here. If they decided not to put any extra effort into being funny, this would've been a terribly bland interview.
has Alan Doyle Wrote a complete version of this song? I'm aware it is a traditional sea shanti but the versions i have found are quite a bi different than this one. Awesome movie by the way, excelent story telling.
All the songs they sing are great but the two best are bully boys and that song about mead
@FragileClick It's a mandolin, I believe.
What is the name, and where can I get that shantyish song? Heard it in the movie and went "wow..." Reminds me a bit of Stan Rogers :)
@marlynn7874 i agree like 100 percent with you. so hot, and a wonderful actor.needs more big roles
@FragileClick My apologies, it's a Bouzouki.
I put it over the top 100 likes.
Petty Harbour is a town. outside the Capital city of St. John's.
@marlynn7874 Totally agree! I love him!
I'm trying to find the music they played in the background of the movie, it was played several times and reminds me of a rap song but I don't know what the name of the song is.
