For a straight man, I seem to have to kiss an awful lot of men!

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.

I'm a rather crude cook.

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

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.

I went to America to get away from constantly being cast in costume dramas, playing posh people.

I've always wanted to play more comic parts.
