It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That's partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they've done before.

I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.

I'm English. Our dentistry is not world famous.

I never applied to any acting schools. I don't know if that's just bad reporting, or - sometimes I just make stuff up.

Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.

I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.

Planning a career, I always find that such a tricky thing, because I don't have much of a plan, really.
