Once Upon A Fan

You all know the drill by now. Here is last night's twitter session from Robert Carlyle for your viewing pleasure. Some great questions. My favourite session so far.

Robert Carlyle ‏ 

Seconds out.. Round 5

@robertcarlyle_ So, in the hopes that you'll turn up, do you actually spin? She asked, heart in her throat.

@mightybattlecat there are 2 lovely people who are on set to help whenever i have to spin

@robertcarlyle_ I simply wanted to share the Rumple costume I made w/you, as a proud Dearie http://i39.tinypic.com/ajo7cm.jpg

@ElendrielA amazing!

@robertcarlyle_ Is the staff Rumple uses to smash his collection his walking staff from before he was transformed?

@samsjag yes

@robertcarlyle_ Why didn't Rumplestiltskin go after Belle's father in the fairy tale world like he did in ours?

@Irishchick1982 maybe he will

@robertcarlyle_ do you enjoy all the crazy twitter madness that happens when you come online?

@pinkdisnyprnces it's like an avalanche.

@robertcarlyle_ So, I let my 7 YO daughter choose a question this time: Do you and your family have any pets? If so, what do you call them?

@TheCheekyGirl two cats.

@robertcarlyle_ I noticed Mr. Gold's pawn shop is right next to the ice cream parlor. Does Gold have a frequent buyer card? Favorite flavor?

@ArielHenry in and out constantly for a quick one.

@robertcarlyle_ Burning question on the @OncePodcast forums - what does Mr. Gold wear to bed at night when he sleeps?

@rumplegoldfan @OncePodcast gold speedos

Robert Carlyle ‏ 

To all the SGU fans, i enjoyed my time playing Dr Rush a lot. i miss the cast most of all.

@robertcarlyle_ Do you think Mr. Gold is technologically illiterate? I mean, the guy owns a pawn shop and lives in a house full of antiques

@s_sevy sounds like a nasty illness

@robertcarlyle_ My daughter, Aurora, wanted me to give you her love. So, lots of love from us both.

@NancysHolistics thank you both

@robertcarlyle_ You've worked with so many talented people. Is there anyone you would love to work with that you haven't had the chance to?

@doctorwholia honestly too many to say but i would love to work with Harvey Keitel.

@robertcarlyle_ to me it seems like Rumpelstiltskin is shorter than Mr.Gold. Is that a camera angle thing or is it all in my head?

@fayeevelynlesni its because you're a cat.

@robertcarlyle_ Are you and Mr Gold alike in someways or you do are very different?

@firefely other than taking people into the woods to beat them up in the middle of the night..

@robertcarlyle_ Thnx so much! How far in advance do you get your script/find out what happens to you in an episode?

@ElendrielA an ep takes 8 days over 2 weeks, we get the next ep midway through shooting and so on

@robertcarlyle_ Have to ask, do you think rumple throwing hilarious sass at the Queen is the ultimate form of entertainment for him?

@Baxtersaurus i think Rumple has been alive for so long he finds mostly everything beneath him and worthy of mockery.

@robertcarlyle_ Saw some behind-the-scenes pix of you on set. Do you roll your own cigs... like a cowboy?

@KristyMikos I do partner.

@robertcarlyle_ U know u can always just tweet about ur day sometimes. Not required 2 face an onslaught once a week Tho u rock 4 doin it

@anthropochick i like it this way.. I'm not a "just about to make a cup of tea" kind of guy.

@robertcarlyle_ Would you consider Rumple to be the puppetmaster of #ouat or The Evil Queen? @lanaparrilla

@laughsunshine @lanaparrilla interesting.. all might well be revealed.. or not

@robertcarlyle_ my nine year old would like to know if the gold make up is itchy or fun to wear

@Dramyhodes not itchy

@robertcarlyle_ I hope it's not rude to wish you one, but Happy St. Patrick's Day...a few days early.

@Eri8321317 top of the morning to you.

@robertcarlyle_ if you weren't (having way too much fun) acting for a living, what would you be doing?

@Mandy_Mae_ i really don't know

@robertcarlyle_ hi, hug fan, i was in a car accident a couple days ago, u'd make my day with a hey

@CJPaxton hey

@robertcarlyle_ My bday was March 7 and u missed it. I really wanted a happy birthday from you Will u give it to me late?? Please Dearie?

@changetherain happy birthday dearie.

@robertcarlyle_ When Elektra King kissed Renard, do you think he could feel it? His expression afterwards was so sad…

Robert Carlyle ‏ @robertcarlyle_ Close

@SandraNozomi nice

@robertcarlyle_ on what date is the next rumple/gold episode scheduled?

@pianokeez88 ep 16 coming up this Sunday

@robertcarlyle_ Hello! I was curious- have you ever found it difficult to get into the headspace of any of the characters you've played?

@SeraDuerre Hitler was tough, for obvious reasons.

@robertcarlyle_ Any advice to a girl who's stuck at a sleep clinic until tomorrow night?

@Meaghan_C get to bed.

@robertcarlyle_ Can you please wish my friend Kiri a happy birthday she's online right now please! - Isabella

@BellactriChapel happy birthday Kiri

@robertcarlyle_ who's your favorite cast member to do scenes with?

@seebrittfilm it's a lovely ensemble.. i enjoy working with everyone for lots of different reasons

@robertcarlyle_ but...I linked you to a drawing to start Monday tweets, none of this Tuesday nonsense.

@anevilgiraffe why is Tuesday always getting it in the neck?

@robertcarlyle_ Or maybe Mr Gold needs a dog named Wee Jock. I miss Hamish Macbeth...

@Fortran thanks i have fond memories of Hamish.

@robertcarlyle_ #Dearie bracelet I made http://pic.twitter.com/TeArzuza

@vulcanlogic93 hey that's great

@robertcarlyle_ Have you had any run-ins with overzealous fans?

@ArielHenry no, never.. maybe i've just been lucky but 99% of the people i meet are lovely

@robertcarlyle_ Do you ever make appearances at Comic Cons? It would be wonderful if you were able to come to the Phoenix one.

@izzy68 no, sorry

@robertcarlyle_ Hi! You r AMAZINGLY talented - thank u for making our Sunday nights so exciting! Would u please say hello to ur fans in PA?

@Rumplefan1 hi PA

@robertcarlyle_ With all of your experience on TV and the screen, have you ever considered becoming a director?

@BlueJay_19 i directed in theatre for quite a few years

@robertcarlyle_ Do you like classical music? >^,,^<

@jaxharrington love a bit of Puccini

@robertcarlyle_ I heard the weather yesterday was pretty crazy. You staying warm out there?

@Zerinity apart from Dorothy flying past the window it's not too bad

@robertcarlyle_ they used so many UK actors for Harry Potter...was there a role in that series that you would have liked to portray?

@ifyousaysodeary yes. loads just didn't work out

@robertcarlyle_ If you could only play one... Would it be Rumpel, or Mr. Gold?

@I_am_quirky Rumple is Gold stripped bare.

@robertcarlyle_ Are you completely mystified, flattered, or embarrassed at how much of a sex symbol Rumple has become among fans?

@maddarilke weird in a nice way

@robertcarlyle_ Was Gold off getting ice cream last episode?

@s_sevy taking inventory

@robertcarlyle_ Did you ever have aspirations to pursue a different career? firefighter, astronaut, baseball player?

@Midian_Dearie i originally wanted to become an artist.

@robertcarlyle_ is it hard acting like you have a bad leg for a long stretch of time, or do you get used to it after a while?

@elisanns sometimes i put a small stone in my shoe to remind me

@robertcarlyle_ they need to give Gold a pet. He needs a friend...as long as he doesn't beat it with his cane, of course.

@Obisham how about a budgie

@robertcarlyle_ What do you think of all the fan fiction regarding Rumple/Mr. Gold?

@geekgalsrock i think if it inspires people to write that can only be a good thing

@robertcarlyle_ Did you see the drawing I sent you? I'll send it one more time.... http://pic.twitter.com/s8IYeXjg

@TKofinas wow, that's great thank you

@robertcarlyle_ Did you know about Rumple's past w Bae and Belle from the beginning? Or did you just know he had his sad memories?

@ThespianReveur i knew he was very very old.. there had to be something in there

@robertcarlyle_ Can we send you fanmail to the studio in Vancouver where it will be forwarded to you or is there another address you prefer?

@EmilyHardyx the studio, yes.

@robertcarlyle_ Coffee, tea, soda, or water?

@KittenGreene water.

@robertcarlyle_ What time period in history do you think Fairytale Land is modeled after?

@ch13queen good question.. i think it's a huge canvas

@robertcarlyle_ *waves* Hello from New Zealand!

@_RiverSong_  g'day

@Fortran @robertcarlyle_ Our Jock agrees. http://pic.twitter.com/sMzbz5c9 or at least just a cameo...Hee!

@AmaraMacLeod @Fortran he's a cracker.

@robertcarlyle_ When Elektra King kissed Renard, do you think he could feel it? His expression afterwards was so sad…

@SandraNozomi nice

@damagedhearts all of them, I'm rubbish.. keep at it.

@robertcarlyle_ At the moment, you’re probably my favorite actor, so I was wondering, who’s yours?

@SandraNozomi there are so many, it changes, but at the moment i'm really enjoying Ryan Gosling's work

@robertcarlyle_ I heard that sometimes you do research for the roles you play. Did you do anything like that for Once? (Like learn to spin?)
