There's a lot of me in Captain Jack and there's a lot of Captain Jack in me. And there is no pun intended.

As an actor, I only play what is in the moment, rather than in the future, but sometimes the past is more important than what is coming up in the future.

What I can say that's different in American television… in Britain, they wouldn't cancel something after a couple of episodes. In the States they would. They would just decide it's not working, take it off and put something else in on the fall schedule.

I trust the [series] writers when I'm filming, because it's interesting for me to go in every week and see what's going to happen, and the challenge for me as the actor is to make it work.

I'm lively when I perform and I always put everything into a show, but when I get home I love lying down in front of the TV and relaxing.

For some reason I seem to be a massive hit with middle-aged women. I seriously don't know what it is.

I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot.
