I Was Going To Be Living There

And Then I Went To Visit My Sister In The States And All Of A Sudden It Was Just Like, It's Like... It's Like The Movie Wizard Of Oz When All Of A Sudden It Changes From Black And White To Glorious Technicolor.

What I Mostly Do Is Take The Script, Analyse The Hell Out Of It, See What's In There, See What Kind Of Person I'm Dealing With, And Then Forget I'm Playing A Father And Just Play A Person Who Exemplifies All Those Things.

I Don't Take Much From My Own Father, Because He Was A Very Austere, Quiet, Private Man Who Would Come Home From Work, Go To His Parlour And Play Beethoven On His Piano.

I Belonged To Stratford Children's Theater When I Was A Boy Growing Up In Manchester. Even Then, I Was Always Doing Character Parts.

I Like To Learn The Lines And Not Get Any Precontrived Things In My Head About The Part. Just Get On Stage And See What The Other Actors Are Doing, And Respond To Them As Honestly As I Can.
