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.
chill films great home leeds miles north stuff watch wonderful
I live in Leeds, which is about 200 miles north of London, and I get to go and do all the 'Harry Potter' stuff and make great films and be part of this wonderful thing all around the world, and then I get to go home and chill out with my friends in Leeds and go watch the football and go to the pub.
self actors stuff
I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.
lovely stuff kind
The fame stuff, the kind words from websites and things, are very flattering and lovely, but I just wanna act.
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.
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.
experience films learning prefer television theater
I did enjoy theater. I actually do prefer making films and television, but it was a learning experience for me, because I got into television at 5 and film at 11, and theater was something I completely bypassed.
