I've always wanted to play more comic parts.

I'm not a great fan of green screen. It's not much fun for actors. It's great for directors and technical people and cameramen.

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

I'm only stopped by people in uniform, whether it's customs people, janitors, or the FBI - they all watch The Wire. Sadly, beautiful, glamorous women don't know anything about it.

Apparently it'll all settle down and they'll forget about it soon.

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

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.
