You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.

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.

I like playing all sorts of ages and genders.

I'm interested in youth culture - when your parents are running your life, but you think you're the big man - but I'm not trying to make a statement.

I'm not interested in being one of those comedians who wants to look good and be this 'cool' funny person. I don't care how weird or ugly I look.

I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.
