What were some of your favorite TV shows growing up? I have to be honest, I actually don’t watch a huge amount of television and never really have. I love watching sport, and although I have my preferences, almost any sport will do.
Who are some actors that inspire you? Probably the usual suspects: Brando, Hackman, and Hopkins. I was fortunate enough to be in a film [Stardust] with Peter O’Toole. He is one of my heroes.
What’s one of your acting weaknesses? I think I can overthink a scene sometimes and end up complicating what could essentially be a very simple moment. In the same vein I often know that just thinking the thought is enough and I trust that the audience will get from it what they need.
Besides acting, how do you express yourself? Sport. Any sport. As long as there are rules and it’s vaguely competitive I’ll love it. I’m not a bad loser, I don’t need to win, but I need there to be a winner. I need winning to be an option.
