I first went to the Chubut valley, the colony that runs about 800km across the width of Argentina, in 2000. My uncle had been there tracing family and came back saying I had to go. So a year later I did.

I feel comfortable here primarily because I think Los Angeles is made up of people who don't come from here, so you can find kindred spirits very easily. It's a town of gypsies.

In my head, I think I'd make a perfect spy, but in reality, I don't think I'd fare very well.

Me and my friend Ioan Gruffudd are like chalk and cheese when it comes to clothes. He lives for his clothes and has an amazing wardrobe. If we're going out I'll turn up at his house and say, 'I haven't got anything to wear,' and he'll tut and sigh and then lend me something swanky.

I've done a number of projects where people go, 'This is your breakthrough role,' so I've stopped thinking that.

I love the stage. I'm always sniffing around to see if there's something I can squidge in quickly.
