I usually read a script from an audience perspective first, and then look more closely at the character only.

Well, Ive always been a character actor, you know, and you always get your share of character actors who are bad guys.

Colin Morgan gives a stunning performance in Parked; he plays Merlin in the BBC TV show and he says the two characters are like night and day. Watch him. He’s got everything it takes to be top notch.

My old manager of the Irish National Theatre said 'Don't worry about being a star, just worry about being a working actor. Just keep working.' I think that's really good advice.

A good comedy’s very hard to make, so good comic writing I really enjoy.

Even in drama, I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human. Even in the depths of dreadful situations, there's usually something rather comic, or something you can laugh about afterwards, at least.
