Godzilla actor Doug Savant talks about his latest work

Doug Savant of course played a minor (but memorable) role within the 1998 Godzilla film as Sergeant O'Neil.

He was the military officer who kept stuttering within each of his scenes, almost like a nervous way of displaying the magnitude of the problems he was facing.

I remember in an interview Doug had mentioned that it was this purposeful stuttering that eventually won him the role.

Apparently Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich liked that he spontaneously did this throughout his auditions, as they felt it perfectly suited the character.

In any case Doug would eventually find further success with "Desperate Housewives", the long-running series that seems to be coming to an end now.

In a video interview with a local ABC network Doug talks about this and his thoughts on the show in general.

I personally found Doug's work within the Godzilla film to be acceptable.

He did what he could with the material provided, and he certainly made something out of nothing.

It's a testament to his acting that he created a memorable role that was neither annoying nor corny.

He even read the audiobook
for the film, which he did a fantastic job on.

I own a copy and highly recommend everybody to obtain one as well.

If you want a way to experience that Godzilla film through first person perspective, this is it as the entire novel is read in this manner.

Great stuff.
