AMC is a fantastic network that does diverse programming, and does it at a really good level and of great quality.

I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.

That's just a much more enjoyable and motivating experience for me, when I can see people who are just as obsessed with the idea as I am.

I'm just a small guy so if I'd dropped any more weight it would have been a bit ridiculous.

I think it was the sense that Turn is a spy thriller, and that's a genre that really fascinates me, in general.

It's weird how an actor can read a script and think 'it's really good, it's really funny, that's going to be really dramatic...' and then you get there and say: "Oh, I have to get in it? I have to get in the water?! Are you kidding?"

New York is full of crazy people, and I like that.
