I'm part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films.

I was dreading all of the ghost stories of working on American television, not in the least, the length. In Britain, a series is six episodes of an hour drama, maybe sometimes eight, but never twenty-two, so I was petrified of that.

I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.

I went to an all boys' school in South London and the only god was sport.

My thing is, I like playing guys who have a really interesting internal monologue.

I don't usually like talking about acting or what my process is, and all those kinds of things, because I don't necessarily think it's helpful to talk about how I do my job.
