I don't know where the line is. I don't know how much of myself is in Walter. There's got to be a bit of him there.

Lord Of The Rings fandom was massive, worldwide, entrenched. Generally it had been part of the fans' life all their life, because they had it read to them as children; they'd become Tolkien students.

I suppose, when you start up in acting, you hope to be given challenges, and you always have dreams about the things you could do and couldn't do, but normally we get pigeon-holed a little bit, as we go on in our careers.

I'd never done anything that required a five-year commitment. To build a show that seems to have kept the imagination of the world so much was a bit otherworldly.

Walter is incredibly complex. I do a lot of thinking about the work I do, and try to get the rhythms of scenes.

I would kill to do more work with Orla Brady, I think she's that gifted.

I could go anywhere in the world and people would stop me in the street and talk about Fringe and how much they adored it and asked questions about it.
