I think it just really excites me, the idea of delving so far into a character that people actually believe it's real, and I start to believe it's real. It's a strange thing to say, but it's the thrill of getting all the details right and being so absorbed in the character that people go along with the illusion.

I'm pretty lucky. I don't get too many haters.

I would love to play a British character one day. My accent wavers between Scottish and Irish very easily, though.

When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I'd constantly be that guy who'd get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.

In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.

Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.

It's barely OK for me to be dressed up as a black guy. But part of me kind of enjoys provoking people.
