WARNING:<\/span> <\/strong>This Article May Contain Spoilers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting his career alongside his twin brother Matt, Luke Goss was the drummer for the band Bros<\/em>. Even though Matt sung the vocals to their songs, including possibly my favourite single When Will I Be Famous?<\/em>, I actually think Luke has turned out to be the more famous brother. He went on to sing with Band of Thieves <\/em>(who later became Thieves Like Us<\/em>) following the break-up of Bros <\/em>and before the beginning of his acting career. I\u2019ll be honest, a little like Mark Strong, I cannot imagine this guy with hair (apart from the wig he wears in Hellboy II<\/em> obviously) but seriously, find some of the music videos \u2013 especially for Give Me One More Chance <\/em>by Thieves Like Us <\/em>\u2013 you won\u2019t regret it I promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extracurricular<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                First off, I want to say how much I love the concept of this film. It\u2019s so rare to have a \u2018slasher\u2019 film where the killers are the lead characters instead of the victims. Anyway, it\u2019s a shame that it is a little predictable that Goss\u2019 character turns out to be the father of two of our main antagonists (kind of figured it out as soon as being introduced to his character but that may say more about me) \u2013 however, please don\u2019t let this take anything away from this film. His role is small even though he\u2019s the sheriff and the one working the case but what he does in the film is nowhere near below par. I just think it\u2019s a side effect of the direction the director has decided to go in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind Blown<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Now, what I am about to say will probably sound extremely harsh but hear me out. Luke Goss is the best actor in the whole film, but honestly that isn\u2019t really saying much. I know straight to TV films are bad but this was pretty painful and I had to watch it to the end to make sure I didn\u2019t miss a single scene he was in. Goss plays General White, a member of the Pentagon and the kind of character you always get in these style of films. You know, the superior who gets ignored when they try and shut the project down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Thank you Luke Goss for trying to save this film, but I think your attempts went unachieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview With a Hitman<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I am so glad I found this film, because this way I can talk about Goss\u2019 fighting without having to write about Blade II. <\/em>Obviously, there\u2019s a lot of talk online about exactly how well trained he is but let\u2019s just say that by the time he made this film in 2012 he had already been trained in street fighting and kung-fu. I\u2019m telling you, that hard work paid off because he really kicks some arse in this film. Anyway, back to the film itself. It takes 10 minutes before he speaks his first line and following that, outside of narrating the rest of the film (because by this point the aforementioned interview has begun) he speaks every so often. Most of the acting is done with his facial expressions and I find that powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honorary Mentions<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                So, I couldn\u2019t write an article about Luke Goss without mentioning Blade II <\/em>or Hellboy II: The Golden Army. <\/em>Yeah, I guess to a point he technically plays the bad guy in both but honestly, there\u2019s something about the characters of Novak and Prince Nuada that makes you side with them. Truthfully, there\u2019s no genre this guy hasn\u2019t done, from starring in romantic comedy Love Life <\/em>to horror films like Dead Undead.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
