If you're very clearly good or you're very clearly bad, then there isn't that much internal dilemma going on, and that's not necessarily as interesting to play.

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

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

I've written virtually as long as I've acted, it wasn't a sudden transition. I acted in my first play when I was 16 and I wrote my first play when I was 17.

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'm not setting 'Jericho' up to be anything other than what it is, which is, you know, a piece of good, well thought-out, well put-together TV and entertainment.

I owe 'Jericho' my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with.
