And given the 40-year acting course, Kevin McNally would most definitely agree with this statement.
"The Spy Who Loved Meis the first film I have ever done. I am one of the crew on the submarine that got swallowed up by the United Kingdom the super tanker, "McNally recalled."We shot the scene at Pinewood Studios in what was then the world's biggest stage. The building is so large that it actually has its own micro-climate. And as children who are just starting out in business, I really love being able to act in the James Bond films. Have a role in this big budget Hollywood production, to be part of this famous series of films. "
But it was 1976. Now skip ahead to 2010. And where are McNally found himself? Back at Pinewood Studios. Where–as he shot the sequence of the fountain of youth Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides –Kevin once again finds himself standing in the world's biggest stage. Now officially known as Albert r. Broccoli 007 stage.
"Mind you, it is not exactly the stage where I shot The Spy who loved Me. The building has burned down twice since then, "McNally said."But even So, it's still great to be back at Pinewood Studios. Once again acted in another big-budget Hollywood production. "
Of course, if you ask Kevin back in 2002 (when he followed his first audition for the role of Joshamee Gibbs in The Curse of The Black Pearl) if he thought that the first Pirates of the Caribbean will spawn a top grossing film series, he would laugh in your face.
