We Are Adjusters. We Empathize, We Change

The Many Many Imponderables Come Together When A Film Opens And For All Sorts Of Reasons It May Or May Not Succeed.

I Love Storytelling. If You Strip All The Bits Away, What You'll Find At The Center Is A Storyteller. As I Warm To My Career And Love It More, I Have A Sense That Storytelling Is Healing, In Many Ways. You Can Reach An Audience And Heal, And By Heal, I Mean Entertain And Provoke. It's A Wonderful Life.

I Was Fortunate As A Young Actor, To Go Straight To The Rsc, Where I Learned That Being An Actor Can Bring With It Wonderful Responsibilities.

I Never Went To Drama School. I Went Straight Into The Theater. We Had The Most Extraordinary Voice Teacher. I Worked With Her When I Was Starting Out In My Career. How To Place My Voice From A Very Relaxed Position Was All Wonderfully Reminiscent Of Going Back To The Basics. But I Always Like To Do That With Any Role That I Do, To Dismantle It And Put It All Back Together Again.

I Don't Want To Be Like The Actor Who Rehearses Everything In The Bathroom, Then Comes To The Set And Carries On Completely Uninterrupted While The Other Actors Tiptoe Away. I'm So Dependent On Reacting To The Other Actors On The Set, And To The Director. I'm Very Responsive. I React. And I Treasure The Energy That Reaction Gives. I Feed Off That And Work Off That. I Don't Like To Be Too Prepared, No. However We Define Too Prepared, If I Feel It's Getting That Way, Then I'll Back Off. My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.
