Is Toby Jones the Hardest-Working Man in Show Business?
Toby Jones wonders if the film and TV industry is becoming more risk-averse.
“It does feel like that at the moment, with the price of IP,” the veteran actor tells The Hollywood Reporter about an absence of original storytelling. “Is it just harder for those new voices to come through? Or will they come through thanks to new technologies? Or maybe people will just make films like [Sean Baker] — with their phone.”
If there’s anyone to pay attention to on this subject, it’s Jones. You’ve most likely seen him in one of his 70-something movies across his decades-spanning career: maybe his voice work as Dobby in the beloved Harry Potter franchise or as evil scientist Arnim Zola of Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger.
Perhaps you know him from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, as Truman Capote in biopic Infamous or as Claudius Templesmith in The Hunger Games.
