The darker the character, the more interesting.

A lot of Scots have settled in Canada over the years and it's a very easy place for Scots - they understand us, we understand them.

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

I don't want to be a luvvie actor. It took a long time for me to accept I was an actor, a professional actor, and that, actually, I make a living out of this.

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

I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.

The thing I miss the most about Scotland is the football.
