I've never been good at accepting jobs six months down the line. I can't do it. If I'm thinking about this, I can't think about that. So I always seem to fly by the seat of my pants.

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

For me, it's a voyage of self-discovery. I'm able to go on a set and to explore situations, personalities, people and characters that are close to me, or maybe not. Through going there and experiencing these different people and their situations, it helps me to get oriented and develop as a human being. So, acting is fundamental to who I am.

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.

Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.

My understanding of zombie movies is people rising from the dead, from their graves, stuff like that, and walking very slowly.

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