characters open
We don't really get to see gay characters who are completely open with their sexuality, but it doesn't define who they are.
characters delicate people portray worship
You have to be delicate with how you can portray characters other people are having a worship over.
beautiful character views
One of the most beautiful things about 'Game of Thrones' is it's told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they're doing is right. But they're only showing you a bit of the picture, and when you see it from another character's point of view you may switch allegiances.
jobs character challenges
Doing jobs that are completely different to the last thing I did pushes me as an actor to change as much as I can. It would be easy for me to stay in a similar vein of characters or jobs, but I'm drawn to challenging myself.
geek love since watched
I've watched 'Doctor Who' since I was a kid. I loved it, and I still love it. I can geek out about it, like when I go to set and see the TARDIS.
ball dire rather stick wolf
I think I'd much rather have a wooden stick and metallic ball than a real dire wolf on set.
I think I need to film something tropical on a beach in a bar.
sam scene since watched work
I think meeting someone like, meeting Sam Shepard, that was someone who was kind of important for me, because I'd read so much of his work and watched him as an actor since I was a kid, then being on set doing a scene with him and thinking, 'This is really surreal.'
No one in safe in 'Game of Thrones.'
amongst deal kid known peers school taught tv
When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them. It's not easy being known as 'the kid from the TV show.' Not in school it's not.
I try to be outdoors as much as I can.
build love
I just love to be able to actually build a character.
lyrics watched
I have two sisters, so we watched all of the Disney films. I think I still know the lyrics to them all.
carpet expected hate red
I hate all the red carpet stuff. It's weird, because it's part of what's expected of you now.
