I can’t speak for anyone else, but in my case, I sort of fell into acting.

I would recommend going out for more independent films. You can get bigger roles and really work your acting chops and build a reel.

The public are a lot of jackasses. If you yell and scream and throw yourself about you’ll always get a lot of damned fools to shout themselves silly. Just barnstorming, that’s what you’ve been doing...

Acting is not as difficult as you may think. People are born natural actorsand play many parts on the stage of life. Everyone is constantly in front of anaudience — or performing monologues when alone.

The most exciting acting tends to happen in roles you never thought you could play.

What is more important than the name is that people know that I really like acting, I enjoy it and I want people to know that I am serious. The name thing: I will always...

Before I got into acting, I was always interested in psychology, which I think is very common with a lot of actors because in a weird way, psychology and acting kind of seem interwoven.

I always had a real love of children’s presenting, and I was lucky enough to do that and have an acting career alongside it.
