Most actors are drawn towards historical tellings because it's one of the most simple forms of storytelling.

I'm not really an animal person.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.

I didn't have any pets growing up.

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours, but he survived the whole war.

I don't really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.
