people relate school shows
I think a lot of people can relate to that school is pretty lousy for a lot of people, and it just shows that you don't have to be perfect and you can still be a hero.
teacher school people
I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.
drama school
I never went to drama school.
school class too-much
I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.
brad courageous help hero pitt relate school sort
You don't have to be a Brad Pitt look-alike hero just to be courageous and help out your friends and come through when it really matters. I think everyone can sort of relate to that in some way, particularly back to people's school days.
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.
