It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.

The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.

I've played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.

Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.

I think in my job, it's quite difficult to find work on television... you don't necessarily want to get a profile for something that you don't fully believe in.

Really I just want to get on with my job, which is to pretend to be lots of different people. Simple as that.

The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.
