Personally I would be a very proud fan if Damien played a disfigured character or such an amazing character as the Elephant man... I love the idea. and the themes related.
It does also make you wonder if it is a genre character, or something supernatural, or fantasy related... I am not sure if grubbiness would take a whole day in make up. But perhaps injury would... bruising?
I agree domino, it would be wonderful to see Damien playing a really challenging role so that others can see the full force of his incredible acting talent. Can't wait to see what this is for!
I didn't even think that Damien was filming something else. I thought he was still filming Suspects. I am confused! I wouldn't want him to be disfigured - we need to see that lovely face!
I'm hoping for Flights return, but could it be possible they are still filming some scenes of Suspects? I don't think so, because it was wrapped. But who knows? He surely like to keep us in dark.
domino, I agree with you. It would be amazing see him performing some challenging role such as disfigured person or something like that. Really out from comfort zone.
I was thinking that he would play Flight who has begun alcoholic and he has lots of fights and he is living on the streets and make appearance in Ripper Street in some episode :D
I was thinking along those lines for Ripper Street too Jozie.. or maybe he becomes the latest boxing champ for H-Division and gets regularly beaten up?
Suspects finished filming weeks ago Lisa. If it was theatre and he was in the makeup chair now, we would have heard about what it is by now? No.. I think this more likely is a film or tv role! (but that is not to rule out that he may have a theatre role lined up too!)
what about those Dr Who The Master rumours ages ago.... could be a very stylised/ made up Master?
I saw an article where Moffat said he was not bringing back The Master. And Dr Who should be done filming - they are doing the world tour now in prep for the big premier of the new series.
I think Damien is doing something completely separate from RS. Kinda hoping for a big film (hopefully international) or perhaps that The Last Kingdom series for BBC2 that is supposed to be epic and produced by the people that do Downton Abbey. But hard to picture what he could be doing that takes so much makeup time.

Either way I'm intrigued and isn't it like him to tease and run?
Isn't it just!!
I'd have thought that if it was theatre we'd have heard something before it got to the makeup stage too - it seems more likely to be film or tv. Whatever it is it makes me very happy!
Just a thought - a lot of makeup doesn't necessarily mean heavy makeup....it could just be spread over a large area.....
they finished filming Dr Who? all episodes? that's that theory gone then!
Jozie, personally I don't think Poldark...and while Sherlock has crossed my mind as a future project for Damien (pretty much everything that is quality should have him in it let's face it) I don't think Sherlock is filming right now?
fifi, yes make up over a large area like bruising, hence my RS 3 suggestion.... what else? Not sure that would take all day.
whimsy that last Kingdom project tickled my fancy, and even though Damien's name was only mentioned on a a fan wish list... you never know!
Of course Damien could be exaggerating the 'all day' bit...
I am still with the whole gothic thing.. or even horror... some of the old classic horrors took lots of makeup...Mary Shelley's Monster is announced but not filming yet I think.... and new film adaptations of the Anne Rice novels are coming - Interview with the Vampire style!
However.. as much as we all know Damien deserves to be in that leading role, in the big film world he may need a few lesser roles under his belt first.... as much as it pains me to say that.. honestly, since the over 2 and a half years ago I first became aware of his talent, it became apparent that Damien has a unique star quality, so anything less than THE leading role is just all wrong somehow!!! But I have had zero doubt that moment will come all this time!
I agree with you domino. Damien is talented man, leading role type and wonderful actor. Of course, until world sees his potential he needs to do little lesser roles.. But when he does.. He set hearts on fire. Like mine..
How about Penny Dreadful? That's horror all over. And very good show, I like it. Billy Piper is in it. They are filming new episodes. I'm waiting new season.
oh is Penny Dreadful filming again? this has possibilities...
Considering he's played a vampire and been in a Victorian drama already, I think he'd slot right in. And it's filmed in Dublin. Personally I have not seen the show, had no interest, but yes it could be something he'd need lots of makeup for, if he were one of the literary characters. And it's an international show, so this would give him some more street credit under his belt...
I agree domino and Jozie about Damien having star quality, but he does seem to be picking his roles rather carefully. Branching out into smaller productions that give him lots of new challenges. I quite like that he's still "unknown" enough that he's got a respectable but small fanbase. But damn it, he needs to make it big! I want the world to see how much he shines!!!

And there's always that possibility that Damien likes to keep his circles little. Who knows if he has turned down bigger roles?
Oh liked Penny Dreadful. There's all the legends of horror mixed together in one story. I really hope that Damien would be in it. I don't know if there's anything else going on that fits..
Penny Dreadful would be cool, second series 2015...but not on a terrestrial UK TV channel, not everyone has SKY.
Apart from monster or gothic, fantasy sci fi character.... what about something like The Walking Dead? not as a zombie but a character, they must spend quite some time in the makeup chair being made all grubby and sweaty!?
If Damien wasn't kidding and genuinely spent the whole day in a makeup chair, there are only a number of options it can be:
1. character in a fantasy/sci fi/ horror
2. character with injury / bruising
3. character with hugely altered appearance - like a disfigurement, ageing, change of sex (!),
4. character who is exceptionally grubby!!!
They are Nestle's Pure Life which is available in the UK. In fact a quick search shows they are available in lots of countries in the world! Sorry to disappoint - if you are disappointed.
Jozie, I'm fairly certain you aren't the only one thinking it...
My working theory is that he will be topless in the desert and it takes them all day in makeup to "fake tan" him.
