Exclusive: Rorschach Speaks!

Jackie Earle Haley on Watchmen's key character



On Rorschach's nasty side...


"We’re talking damaged goods. He’s just had such a horrible upbringing. His mom was a prostitute. Men after men. Drugs. Alcohol. He kind of lost his own identity. He starts to despise himself. When he starts to punish those self-centred victimisers, he starts to find his own self-worth."



On the mask...

"Once I was under there, man, I was under. They had to take it off. I couldn’t lift it up. In the CG part, they would cover up my eyes and replace them with ink-blots that move with my face."



On the fight scenes...

"He’s formidable. His background is boxing, so his style’s a little sloppier, a little tougher, a little rugged. It’s in your face. Bam! Down. You know?"
