I trained for three years at drama school to be an actor - not a celebrity.

A big part of what I wanted to do with this character was go from when I was a boy and try and develop into a man, really try and play him as a man who is on this search, on a journey of personal, spiritual, political, social discovery.

I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.

When everyone around you is doing all this incredible pirate acting and you're having to sort of play the straight guy and move the story forward, you kind of want to be doing some of that pirate ripping it up stuff, but in truth, to be a part of that project is what I love.

Women, as mothers of the earth, deserve the utmost respect.

Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.
