簡單一點講...Shane參加了兒童劇「白雪公主」的演出，他演出王子一角
Shane’s in the panto zone! Andy Smith meets Shane Lynch.
As one fifth of Boyzone, Shane Lynch larked around on stage
while kids screamed at him. Now he’s preparing for panto
in High Wycombe – so no change there then! He told us how
the part of the Prince in Snow White is fitting
in with his new TV career.
Shane Lynch found fame as part of world famous boy-band
Boyzone and recently starred in Channel 4’s The Games,
which he won!
Now playing Eli Knox in Sky One's Dream Team, he is destined
to set hearts a-fluttering playing the dashing Prince in
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in panto in High Wycombe.

You had a fantastic career in pop and now you have moved
to panto. What are you doing!?
[Shane]
It’s a direction I’ve taken because I want to get in to acting.
I am certainly a man who never grew up in stage school or anything,
so I’ve got to learn.
I’m applying this principal in my life that I solely believe that
you have to lay a foundation for everything you do and I think this
is a great foundation for me.
I went into motor sport and yes, I had plenty of money, but I didn't
get into a Ferrari and start racing! What’s the point of a lot of
power in a car when you don’t yet know how to drive a racing car.
So I raced in Ford Fiestas and Fiat Uno’s, in 1.1s up to 1.6s then
in 2 litres, then 3 litres and then 5 litres, and that is how you do it.
I want to get into acting, I want to do movies and therefore I’m doing
panto!
[Inter]
So is this your first venture into acting?
[Shane]
No, I’m actually doing Dream Team at the moment, which is a Sky One
programme. Originally I wanted to do the panto to get into the likes of
Dream Team but it actually came up since I’ve been signed up to the
panto. But to be honest, everyone who I have spoken to in Dream Team
has told me that panto and the theatre is the way to go, so I have got
the best of both worlds at the moment.
[Inter]
The show runs for five and half weeks how are you going to cope with
two shows a day?
[Shane]
I’m a hard working man, I’ll say I’m a labourer. If I was going to
be on a brickie’s site then I’m the labourer. I like a bit of graft
and that is what it is going to be - a bit of graft.
[Inter]
How do you think you are going to maintain your energy levels?
[Shane]
Plenty of Red Bull!!
[Inter]
But you’re going to need something more surely, especially with all
those kids screaming at you?
[Shane]
I’m use to that! I had 10 years of it don’t forget! I’ve been on the
stage before. We used to play a schedule not quite as hectic as what it
is going to be in panto, but I think we had 36 to 40 shows in 28 days
with Boyzone including matinees. I suppose it is a little bit different,
but it has the same ideas. It’s the same screaming business just a
different role. I’m the Prince as opposed to Shane Lynch from Boyzone
doing his thing.
[Inter]
Do you ever miss the days of being in Boyzone?
[Shane]
Of course I do, definitely. Like every job, when you are in it you adapt
to your surroundings but eventually you think ‘I’m bored of this’ or
'I don’t like it’ and you don’t want to get out of bed because you’re
having a bad day. But as soon as you get out of it [the job] you think
‘ that was an amazing life, what am I doing out here let me back in’.
I do miss it, I miss it a lot.
[Inter]
What was the strangest thing you read in the press about your self whilst
in Boyzone?
[Shane]
I still read strange things about me! There is always some truth in the
matter, but it is the explosive headline which you wouldn’t word yourself,
and it’s that which makes it strange. The majority of the time that is
what happens to me.
[Inter]
You’re working along side Anita Dobson. Were you ever a fan of Eastenders
as a child?
[Shane]
Not particularly. I think I have been more so in the recent years, but I
certainly do remember her from it. She is an old pro and that is the
bottom line. I’ve got a lot to learn from her and it is great for me to
do that.
[Inter]
I once saw a clip of you crashing your racing car off the track at great
speed. What goes through your mind?
[Shane]
To be honest, as much as it happens so quickly, it actually feels very
slow. I know that is a strange thing to say but it happens so quickly
you can’t get out of it happening, and then it all slows down in motion
when you’re hitting walls and other cars.
But luckily, in the last five years, I’ve probably had maybe five accidents
which is only one a year and that isn’t a lot when it comes to motor
sport. And in amongst that I’ve had many first, second and third places.
You are either on the edge of winning or on the edge, and you get it slightly
wrong.
You can see Shane hopefully getting it right at the Wycombe Swan
Theatre from 10 December 2004 - 16 January 2005.
