Geoffrey Rush (Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole)

Veteran actor Geoffrey Rush was rather pleased when he discovered he was going to voice the part of a wise old owl in the animated 3D feature, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. Based on the best-selling children's novels, Rush plays Ezylrib, a warrior owl who guides an impressionable young owl named Soren.

Tribute's Bonnie Laufer spoke with Geoffrey via satellite from Australia about his recent success at the Toronto International Film Festival, the challenges of voiceover work, and what we can look forward to in the fourth instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with Johnny Depp.
