Im a career actor. And I question this constant reliance on TV fame and celebrity.

I do chat to my mother in Norwegian, particularly when we want a secret conversation. It is useful that way.

Im a huge Rugby Union fan, which is a bit like American football - but tougher.

I love having music just to chill to and also to rev me up a bit.

I studied at Guildhall and did the acting course, but because I could sing a bit, I kept being cast in musicals.

One day, a musician asked me what I did. When I told him I was to be a businessman, he laughed and said, You are not a businessman. Sometimes all it takes is one person to put an important thought in your head, and he did.

Although I dont know Oslo at all, there is something about the feel or the smell of the place that feels like home, which is quite interesting.
