David Boreanaz, actor I can’t wait to return to Serbia We first met him as the handsome “vampire with a soul” who loved Buffy, then fell in love with him as charming FBI agent Seeley Booth in the series Bones, only to discover that he’d also fallen in love while shooting his latest series, SEAL Team, and that he’d actually fallen in love with Belgrade!
me što uvek bira prave lokacije za snimanje. Retko snimamo u studi- ju. Smatram da prava lokacija daje posebnu i specifičnu vizuelnu no- tu. Teško animacijom ili veštačkom scenografijom možete da dočarate pravi duh zemlje u kojoj se odvija radnja. Mi nikada nismo radili ta- ko. Jedna od ranijih sezona sni- mljena je u Portoriku. U Srbiji se baš pogodilo da su se svi naši za- htevi poklopili. Uz originalnu sce- nografiju dobili smo i kvalitetan kreativni tim, što nam je mnogo značilo sa profesionalne strane. Ima mnogo sličnih serija, po čemu se to Mornarički specijalci razlikuju? – Čini mi se baš po tom pristu- pu iz prve ruke. Ovo je ratna akcija i u prvom planu je vojska. Među- tim, akcenat nije toliko na akcio- nim scenama, koliko na isticanju pravog smisla vojničkog života. Duha vojske. Pri osmišljavanju epizoda ništa nismo prepusti- li slučaju. Kao konsultante ima- li smo prave vojne veterane. Oni su mi mnogo pomogli da nekim detaljima dam priči na verodostoj- nosti. Zanimljivo je da u seriji no- sim šlem jednog od tih veterana. Bez obzira na to što je mnogo te- ži od kacige koja se koristi na se- tu, ne bi mi palo na pamet da je zamenim. Upravo pomoću takvih sitnica držim negde na pameti šta dugujemo ljudima koji odlaze u borbu kako bismo mi ostali spa- vali mirno. Koji je bio najveći izazov sa kojim ste se susreli u seriji? – To je definitivno izazov ka- ko da sam sebi kao glumcu budem reditelj. Reč je o veoma zahtev- noj dužnosti. Potrebna je ogromna disciplina i samokontrola da sa- mi sebi ne date otkaz. (smeh) Za glumce je specifično to da ume- ju da budu pomalo tvrdoglavi i uvek se trude da kameru prila- gode sebi i svojoj ideji. Rediteljski posao i rediteljski zahtevi, među- tim, mnogo su jednostavniji. Je- dino što reditelj traži jeste dobar kadar. Ništa drugo ga ne zanima. Umeo sam da se posvađam sam
Slayer, or for his work on the se- ries Bones, but only his truly ador- ing fans know that his first role was in the series Married... with Chil- dren, and that he appeared in the music video for British singer Di- do’s song White Flag. One of the most engaged people on television, he’s an actor and pro- ducer whose projects roll out con- tinuously, one after another, with him standing both in front of and behind the camera… Following the end of shooting after a whopping 12 seasons of the show Bones, he ded- icated himself to CBS Television’s military drama series SEAL Team, in which he is both the lead actor and executive producer. This show serialises the professional and per- sonal lives of the most elite unit of the Navy SEALS, showing precise- ly what these special forces do, and we actually saw first-hand what they
do when they took over Belgrade city centre for the needs of shoot- ing, flying a helicopter low and over- turning several cars as they caused general commotion across the city. They also “arrested” some of our lo- cal actors, though we’ll only watch that happen in the third season. What do you remember about your time spent film- ing in Serbia for the third season of SEAL Team? - I mostly remember that I still want to go back to Serbia. We were welcomed by wonderful people, who were genuinely happy about us working in their country. As I’m also the producer of this series, it was a great challenge for me to work both behind and in front of the camera over the course of 16 days. I none- theless managed to devote every free moment I had to familiarising myself with Belgrade and walking its streets. After many years, I al- so saw a Yugo car. You probably al- ready know that story: that make was the first car I owned, which my parents bought me to drive myself to school. One day, during filming in Belgrade, I stumbled across a Yu- go and was thrilled to discover that those cars still exist. Will Belgrade represent some other city or is the story really set in Serbia? - The start of the season, the first two episodes, really take place in Belgrade, or in Serbia. In accord- ance with the screenplay, we work together with domestic special forces to tackle a terrorist threat that’s carrying out activities that could destabilise the entire world. We worked with a lot of local actors. The film shoot conditions were phe- nomenal, there are few places where we encounter such good and crea- tive experts. We really felt totally re- laxed and ready for work at any in- stant. When it comes to the season itself, those first two episodes are the most explosive and intriguing, and they’re an introduction to the next two episodes, which were al- so shot in Serbia, but for them Bel- grade portrays Paris.

We can almost con- clude that we’ve been watching David Boreanaz on our TV screens for at least two decades. He’s best known to most as Angel from the show Buffy the Vampire

nim serijama. Posle 30 godina kako vam danas izgledaju ti prvi koraci? – Čini mi se da su na počet- ku bili veoma nespretni i trapavi. Kao neko geganje sa kamena na kamen, dok nisam došao na sigur- no tlo i pokucao na prava vrata. Bafi je bila moja velika ulaznica u svet televizije, ali mnogo vreme- na je prošlo dok mi se nije uka- zala ta prilika. Nekima se dogodi ranije, a ima i glumaca koji svoje životne uloge ostvare gotovo pred kraj karijere. Kada je o meni reč, našao sam se u pravo vreme na pravom mestu. I danas ništa ne bih menjao. U životu sam uvek igrao na sigurno. Rad i posveće- nost se uvek isplate. Sve ostalo je kockanje.
sa sobom, ali na kraju bismo nas dvojica uvek nekako pronašli kom- promis. Mada je bilo ekstremnih situacija. Recimo, uvek insistiram na originalnoj vojnoj opremi koja teži i po nekoliko desetina kilo- grama. U tim trenucima reditelj u meni kaže: „Dejvide, skini to sa sebe i obuci scensku garderobu, slomićeš kičmu i kolena. Među- tim, onaj drugi, glumac, odmah ućutka ovog prvog i šapne mi: „Sa- mo nastavi, nisi slabić“. Nažalost, tada je, ipak, reditelj bio u pravu. Posle deset koraka sapleo sam se, uganuo zglob i umalo iščašio oba kolena. Od tada takve scene ipak prepuštam statistima. Igrom slučaja vašu kari- jeru smo u Srbiji isprati- li gotovo u svim prethod-
Dejvida smo prethodno upoznali u popularnoj seriji Bafi, ubica vampira i kao šarmantnog FBI agenta u seriji Kosti We previously met David in the popular series Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and as a charming FBI agent in the series Bones
