amazing changed experience fun life personal
For me, 'Harry Potter' isn't something that changed my life. It's just something I did that was a lot of fun and I got to experience amazing things from. But my actual, personal life is the same. Or at least I like to keep it the same.
character funny great sides useless
As a character he is really great because he has got the funny sides and the comedy, but he also is kind of useless sometimes.
fun character ideas
Approaching a comedy character is fun because you get to sit down with the director and ask, "What makes you laugh?" Then you end up bouncing ideas off each other.
football fun team
I love playing football. I started playing for a school team, which is fun, and I play a lot of five a side. I nowhere near good enough to go professional but it's definitely one of my main hobbies. I play three times a week.
alabama large population students university
The students of the University of Alabama are a large population and we do not want to be ignored,
helped science
I started to see acting as a real science. That really helped me grow as an actor.
I've acted since I was 5 years old, so that's still something I want to do.
learn literally understanding
To be fair, when I started doing 'Verdict' I literally had no idea what I was doing. I wanted to do some theatre, as I wanted to do something different. I wanted to learn and get an understanding of the craft.
offered
I was offered 'Strictly Come Dancing.' I turned it down because that celebrity world is not what I'm into.
amazing enjoyed push ralph scene
I was nervous. I was thinking, 'Gee, he's Ralph Fiennes. What an amazing actor, and I can have this scene with him.' But I enjoyed it, you know. That's what I got into acting to do - to push myself and see if I can do these things.
act amazing great hopefully move people personally signs starting stuff truly
I don't want to act as if 'Harry Potter' wasn't the most amazing thing because it truly was, but it's also great personally that I'm starting to see signs that I can move on from it and do other stuff that hopefully people enjoy.
fortunate met people scripts sent trick
I am fortunate that I get sent scripts and get to meet people I would never have met had I not done 'Harry Potter.' But I feel I had to come out of that show and prove that I am not a one trick pony and can do other stuff.
fan forward looking
I am really looking forward to get into it. I am a big fan of the books, so I know what Neville has got coming.
crucial success
One of the crucial things to the story of 'Harry Potter's' success is just how well everyone got on. There were never any problems with anybody.
