I do have friends in Australia who now refer to me as 'Hollywood Jack.'

Most Australians who've got an ear can do an American accent because we grow up listening to them on television and in movies.

The eyes are the windows of your soul, and when you're acting, they're one of your most important instruments. Especially for close-ups!

In Australia, I grew up watching 'The Mickey Mouse Club,' my son grew up watching 'Sesame Street,' my grandson's growing up watching 'Dora The Explorer.' So we are sort of saturated with American culture from the day we're born, and to those of those who do have an ear for it, it's second nature.

I haven't really had a major role in film for about 12 years. But I never stopped working in the theater. I do stuff back to back.

Everything the Coen brothers do is brilliant.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.
