Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.

A lot of the time, people want to hear from someone like myself. They want to give it a shot. It's challenging, and it's driven me more than discouraged me.

I loved eating and I did put on weight. I never actually felt fat until I started going for castings, for auditions.

I went out for a film where they wanted seven brothers and one sister, so I was there for half a day while they were waiting for 'Archie' to read for a boy I've had drivers come to pick me up in England looking for a blond, blue-eyed Scottish boy.

I am still married, yes - no children. I have Benzo, though; he's my dog, a Lhasa apso.

I knew what I wanted to do for my entire life, from nursery to university. I've always been geared towards wanting to act. I've stuck with it, dedicated time to it.

You can have all the agents and publicists in the world but no one's ever going to give you 110 per cent like someone who loves you.
