Actor

I think that insecurity/confidence balance is necessary.

The problem with the treadmill is I just don't know what to do in my head. You either stare at the mirror or concentrate on the TV. It makes me ill because I can't relax on a treadmill.

When I was trying to find work after drama school in London, it felt like the same actors always got the plum roles, especially in television. We have a smaller market place, vastly fewer drama-producing networks, and they seem to compete for the same established names for those projects.

The older I get, the more I believe in practice and work over natural talent and ability.

When I'm living in L.A., I'm mainly a jeans, vintage T-shirt and Nike high-tops guy.

I think American audiences are open to people with accents and different nationalities being on the screen.

I wanted to acknowledge my U.S. heritage and to belong to it more closely. Having said that, I am certainly British by formation and education and readily think of London as home. I had never lived in the U.S. till 2007.
