With my guy, every now and then, he puts on a mask and does that, but he isn't that. Most of the time that we see him, he isn't that. Most of the time that we see him, he's fun to hang around with. I think that's unusual, to that extent.

Working with CGI is more like doing theater where your sort of imagining things. I didn't experience it as restrictive.

X-Files wasnt a big show in England.

Working in 3D I didn't experience much of a difference, except that the cameras are very big so they can't be moved around with as much ease. It was more like, when you've seen photos of cameras from the 1930s being moved around with these huge cranes. So there was something quite sort of old-fashioned about it almost.

The Buccaneers was an Edith Wharton novel, and she never finished it, and a screenwriter adapted it for television.

Every project has its things to be overcome, but I didn't find that there was anything particularly impossible about what we were doing - it was all quite exciting.

The acting in Downton Abbey has been consistently excellent across the board.
