A lot of the characters I play have problems, they are marginalised, they have serious psychological problems, problems with relationships, with childhood. These are big subjects, big subjects. You can't balk at work like that. As an actor, that's as good as it gets.

I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

Vancouver's a very child friendly city, there's... no doubt about that.

Anyone that knows me knows what I'm about, and I'm very much a British actor, a European actor.

My wife was a make-up artist, and she's a total product junkie. Our bathroom is packed full of lotions and potions so I end up trying them out.

Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society.
