attached british-actor character fun intrigued playing prince talked
Specifically, we talked about making the character of the prince not so charming, at least in the beginning, and I'm playing around with the preconceptions attached to a character. That's really what intrigued me as well because I thought it would be fun to do it.
british-actor fan football massive
No, I'm not a lager lout either. I think you have to be a massive football fan to be a lager lout.
british-actor
Because I don't really think of myself as a hunk, to be honest.
anybody book british-actor gets hard heads quite reading
I think for anybody reading the book they're going to get an idea in their heads of all those characters, and I think that once that gets fixed, it's quite hard to shake.
ambiguous british-actor couple pipeline strange
As always, there's a couple of things in the pipeline - but that pipeline is a strange and ambiguous place.
allowed british-actor emotional found rwanda spent time
When I got back I found myself being very emotional about the time spent in Rwanda in a way that I hadn't been able to or allowed myself to be when we were there.
effort hobbies found
I've not as yet found one hobby that would absorb me completely when I'm not working, but I have just bought a new apartment and didn't quite bargain for the amount of effort and time and money that that absorbs.
song thinking new-experiences
The little song and dance number at the end - that's me, my voice, howling out. It was a new experience for me. I've never sung before and I've certainly never sung on screen. I think I sung on stage when I was 13 and for some reason nobody's asked me to try it again since.
thinking roles medieval
But no, I don't think I'm particularly drawn to the period roles or the medieval roles.
paris cafes way
But one of the most fantastic things about Ireland and Dublin is that the pubs are like Paris and the cafe culture. And Dublin, in many ways, is a pub culture.
thinking yeah i-can
I think I can lead a pretty anonymous life, yeah.
insecure thinking sailing
I think becoming an actor because it's a ridiculously insecure profession to go into. I feel very comfortable but very lucky. I think any time that you imagine that it's plain sailing for hereon in, then you're kidding yourself.
body spirit ireland
Ireland. Great for the spirit - very bad for the body.
opportunity careers people
There's no one actor in particular that I want to model my career after, except for the people who have been able to keep their career varied and who choose things that interest them. That opportunity is all I really want.
