Although my father is English, I was brought up in Australia.

I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.

Although my father is English, I was brought up in Australia.

I'm a big fan of Tom Stoppard's work, and have been since I was in school where I studied him.

I've done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max. I enjoy everything. After one particular experience of work, I like to go in the opposite direction and do a short film, or something else.

I live in L.A. and I do have wonderful friends; I moved there when I was 19 so I developed a close knit group of friends, none of whom are actors, none of which are Australian, but I couldn't do it long term.

Generally, I play the kind of ethereal, fragile-on-the-outside-but-hard-and-damaged-on-the-inside type.
