Anthony Hopkins on 'The Dresser,' 'Westworld' and Why He Hates Car Chases

Anthony Hopkins famously walked away from stage work decades ago - but he finally returns (sort of) in Starz's " The Dresser," which premieres May 30. The TV movie is an adaptation of Ronald Harwood's 1980 play set in World War II-era London about an aging actor, Sir (Hopkins), who's struggling to prepare for his upcoming performance of King Lear.

What can you reveal about “Westworld”?

I’ve enjoyed it. Do you remember “Jurassic Park,” the Richard Attenborough guy? I play that kind of man. He runs Westworld. What’s interesting about doing TV this way is I never know where the story is going. I play Dr. Ford who’s built Westworld and all these robots. He has total control over everything. But I’m not sure which way it’s going. I’m just a man obsessed. I don’t play evil parts.
