There's just a big group of actors in London. There are new ones coming in all the time, who are looking for work, and established actors who are interested in working and like to work. To be a working actor in England is a life.

When complicated characters aren't well drawn, they're boring.

I think the part I enjoy most is reading the scripts and screening films because I'm a bookworm and a movie buff.
waiting satisfaction mystery
There's always a crisis somewhere, and you get the satisfaction of solving the problem. And then, there's always the mystery of whether a program will work or not, and waiting for the reviews or seeing what the audience figures are.

There's a new television generation coming in every five or 10 years, and the classic stories stand up to being redone.

To be a working actor in England is a life. I think it's harder in this country. Either you are a superstar or a starving actor.

People love solving puzzles, and you always love it when somebody smarter than you is solving puzzles.

Sometimes, the actors are thrilled to have visitors because they're just waiting most of the day. It's the directors that are a little busy.
jobs book scripts
My primary job is to choose the programs, either to co-produce them, or acquire them after they're finished. So, I read a lot of scripts, I meet with producers and I read a lot of books.
