When the Rolling Stones guitarist was working on “Exile,” he was recording in a big basement and not seeing much direct sunlight, so a pale, vampiric actor such as Robert Pattinson might be a good, safe choice.

Certainly this casting would please the ladies (but depress the Stones fans).

The magnetic Australian actor is best known for his role in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and at a certain angle is a ringer for Jagger.

And since Xavier Samuel proved in “Eclipse” that he’s a good fighter, he’d be able to accurately capture the tension between Jagger and Richards.

On Blu-ray and DVD starting today, February 7th, Anonymous is the latest dramatic thriller from acclaimed director Roland Emmerich. It attempts to solve the mystery behind the true author of William Shakespeare’s most iconic works. Xavier Samuel stars in the film as the Earl of Southampton, a William Shakespeare dedicatee and the focus of his sonnets. We caught up with the actor to discuss some of the controversy behind this exciting new release. Our conversation is below.

There’s not much ocean in Anonymous. So what was the draw for you?

Xavier Samuel: (Laughs) Yeah, you are right. I do try to find movies that are near or on the ocean. (Laughs) Look, I think this is a pretty controversial story. Its not often that you get to be in an Elizabethan thriller. I have always been fascinated by William Shakespeare. I jumped at the opportunity to be involved in a story like this.

Roland Emmerich doesn’t shy away from the fact that there isn’t a lot of truth telling in this story. It’s not based on fact. As an actor, that must mean you have to pay more attention to the authenticity of the era, just in selling the piece home.

Xavier Samuel: John Orloff wrote a great script, so that is your starting point. My character, the Earl of Southampton, did exist. Though a lot of the relationships have changed, who he is has stayed consistent. I read a lot about that guy. Also, you have to be aware of the ideology of the film. It’s a fast paced, thrilling story. Also, aside from the whole authorship thing, it’s ludicrous to come up with any theory…Because there is so little information about it. There are a lot of strange coincidences that point to some of it being correct. But in terms of the whole authorship thing, you have to work out that the film is more about the relationship between art and politics, than how art can affect a great deal of change. So I focused on that aspect of the story, and less on “who dunnit?”

Those watching the movie, who are not well versed in the history of it, might not realize Earl of Southampton was a real person. In keeping with the themes of the movie, do you feel, through this project, that you have any authorship on the character of Earl?

Xavier Samuel: You have a bit of license, you know? You have to make the character your own. Because he’s not around to talk to, and get to know. You have to go off the history books, and use those pieces of information that you find. Those becomes little springboards that are useful. As I was reading about him, I discovered that he was the rock star of his time. He had a massive entourage with him, wherever he went. He lived well beyond his means. He was an ambassador to the theater. He gave a lot of money to the writers to keep them writing. He really supported the theater. He was a very loyal guy. He stood by what he believed in. He stood by is friends. You grab those pieces of the picture, and you can start to assemble, little by little, what this guy might be like. Then, it’s kind of up to you.

Via Xavier Samuel – NOW!

“Anonymous” isn’t your first experience with Shakespearean drama. How did the Bard help shape your early acting experiences in Australia?
I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man. When I startedacting school, we did a production of “Hamlet” with an American director who was visiting. So, yeah, Shakespeare has been a big part of my experience so far. I think when you are working with writing like that, you’re amazed at how contemporary it is. It really does still speak to today’s audience. It hasn’t been dated at all and it’s still relevant.

“Anonymous” is controversial in its suggestion that Edward de Vere wrote most of Shakespeare’s work. Has your experience with this film made you rethink your own views on the historical Shakespeare?
I’m pretty certain the Earl of Southampton wrote his plays. There are a lot of strange coincidences that point towards de Vere as the creator of the other works. I guess for me, personally, it doesn’t really matter. Regardless of who wrote these plays and body of work, it’s still there. We certainly had some interesting conversations about it. It makes for a thrilling story, and that’s what attracted me to the screenplay in the first place. The crux of the film is the relationship between art and politics and how, during that time, you could put on a play and potentially overthrow a government or at least put a chink in its armor. It’s relevant to remind people how powerful art is and how it can make change for the better.

The Daily Telegraph has a great new feature on Xavier Samuel who gained worldwide notoriety as Riley in Eclipse but is now appearing in the film A Few Best Men.

The Adelaide-born actor, 28, says he didn’t think he would be right for the part, as he has always been asked to play teenagers.

“Initially I thought I was a bit too young for it. It’s the first time I have really been cast as an adult,” he tells Insider.

Samuel plays David Locking, an Englishman who travels to Australia to wed his sweetheart. But the wedding, set in a stunning house in NSW’s Blue Mountains, doesn’t go to plan thanks to his best men Graham (Kevin Bishop), Tom (Kris Marshall) and Luke (Tim Draxl).

He says he embraced the challenge of an accent. “It was a strange kind of paradox playing an Englishman in an Australian film set in Australia,” Samuel says.
