When You Start To Do Research Into

I Love Acting And Certainly Won't Give It Up, But It's Part Of A Bigger Canvas For Me Now.

In A Personal Way, To Do With Family And The Father-son Relationship, In A Kind Of Artistic Way With Regard To Him Being An Art Student. I Also Studied The Visual Arts At Lancaster University. I Then Decided To Become An Actor As He Was Becoming A Musician. And Then As An Actor/performer, We Have Similar Sort Of Interests - Music Hall And That Whole World. So, There's A Lot That I Felt Connected With.

I've Always Thought Of Acting As A Tool To Change Society. I Watch A Lot Of Actors And I See Panic In Their Eyes Because They Don't Know Why They Act And I Know Why I Act. Whether I'm A Good Or A Bad Actor, I Know Why I Do It.

I Can Get On With All Different Sorts Of People, And I Never Feel Homesick, Particularly, Or I've Never Felt Kind Of Patriotic Towards Any One Country.

We've Never Had Nannies. We've Had Great Grandparents, Great Support From Family, And The Kids Have Been On Every Set: They've Seen Me Play Gollum, King Kong, Captain Haddock, The Lot. They Totally Get It, And They Want To Go Into The Business. Ruby, My Daughter, Is Very Keen To Become An Actress.
