"It's nice because working in England I'm know for working in television and theater when you get a chance to come out, it is quite fun to be out from behind the mask. You need to let people know who you are"
About this Quote
The line’s charm is its blunt, backstage honesty. Bulloch isn’t performing mystique; he’s puncturing it. "Quite fun to be out from behind the mask" reads like a gentle wink at the franchise mythology that turned anonymity into brand value. It also hints at the strange economics of genre celebrity: you can help create an icon and still be treated as interchangeable labor unless you step forward and claim authorship of your own identity.
"You need to let people know who you are" carries the subtext of a warning. Fame, in this version, doesn’t automatically translate into recognition; it can erase you by replacing you with a silhouette. For actors in suits, under prosthetics, or inside heavily mediated roles, the work is both everywhere and nowhere. Bulloch’s intent is practical - show up, do conventions, attach a face to the legend - but it lands as a broader comment on modern celebrity culture, where the character is the commodity and the human being has to hustle to be legible.
