Lee Pace has one of those dream acting careers where he gets to be painted blue or dons elf ears to play Ronan (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) or Thranduil (“The Hobbit” films), sparking the imagination of countless fans around the world, and then he hits the Broadway stage and knocks ‘em dead as Joe Pitt in “Angels in America.” I ask him if he takes stock of that aspect of his career, and we talk about a curious note Barry Sonnenfeld gave him while making “Pushing Daisies” that he still uses to this day. Plus why he’s not bothered by line readings, and how you have to "inspire yourself" into a role, like he did to play John DeLorean in the new film “Driven.”
