At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.

When I think about my children and how different their futures might be as a result of climate change, it makes me determined to do something about it.

British people are surprised that I'm British!

I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering.

Normally for work I will fly business class.

Working at the National Theatre is just wonderful. There is no place like the South Bank on a summer's afternoon.

I loved working with Mandy Patinkin, I have to say.
