If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.

I don't know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it's because we're cheap.

I think I've got a funny face.

I've always wanted to play more comic parts.

The kiss always gets a hell of a reaction.

I've hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I'm a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That's what I get for being a single dad - suspicious looks at the playground.

You've got to grab every opportunity that comes up.
