I was born in New Zealand, so I have a lot of family there.

I pretty much always choose characters. That's what I do. That's what I look for. I look for dynamics in a script and potential.

I never talk about a job before the contract is signed and I've shot the first three days.

I've actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it's really tough to do. It's really difficult to execute. There's often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical.

Strangely enough, I find myself more centered in chaos than in calm, and again I'm not sure whether that's a strength or says something weird about me, but I love a crisis. I'm normally very, very organized in the middle of chaos, and then when I have nothing to focus on, extremely disorganized, and I tend to waste a lot of time.

I've been very fortunate in my career to work across a lot of different mediums. I've hosted, I've narrated, I've acted in television, miniseries, film - all of which are very, very different in the way they tell stories.

I love working in New Zealand. It's just the most beautiful country I've ever been to.
