New today in Jedicouncil Interviews is a new quick interview with the man behind Darth Maul, Episode I's Ray Park. Here's a clip of the interview, hit the link for the rest and tons of other interviews TFN has conducted over the past few months:

How exactly did you get the role in The Phantom Menace? I got a call from the stunt the stunt co-ordinator and he asked me to come in. He asked me to come in the following week and do a test fight to show George Lucas. I knew at that point they were looking for someone to play Darth Maul. For four days we rehearsed the fight and on the fifth day I was put in make-up and the fight was filmed. George Lucas saw the fight and he really liked it. I got a call from the producer, Rick McCallum a day later and he told me I got he role of Darth Maul.

When was it decided your voice would be dubbed out? I knew from the beginning it was not going to be my voice but at the same time during some point of the filming I though my voice might be used.

What did you think of the reaction to Darth Maul in Episode I? The reation was mind blowing and very over whelming.
