[Julian Albert] is a CSI investigator; a forensic expert with similar skills to Barry, which gives them a different relationship to, I think, anyone else that he works with, because they're sort of treading on each other's toes in their field of expertise.
The only time I can really relax is up a tree or somewhere outside. I love being outside.
You see another side of Draco when he's with his dad. When Draco is with his dad, he doesn't say anything. He keeps his mouth shut. He's sort of bullied by his dad, so he acts very different.
I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry. Actually it is really fun playing the bad kid because it just has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it's really fun filming.
There's a real feel-good warmth to the show [ The Flash]. It feels like you're watching, for lack of a better analogy, Friends mixed with Spider-Man or Batman.
Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.
Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.
I'm not a big splurger of money, but my guilty pleasures do lie within BMWs. I get roped in.
It's such a pleasant experience [to work on Harry Potter], though very nerve-wracking to come on to someone else's set, essentially. They've been there for two years, so for me to sort of walk on and to be expected to jump into it, it's not always that easy. But they made it incredibly welcoming and hospitable, so I'm very grateful for that.
Draco's not really a bully. He's not exactly the biggest, strongest guy in the world. He's more a rich, snobby person. He thinks of himself as really cool.
I hope to be scaring children for the rest of my life.
I like the dueling club scene, where Daniel and I fight with our wands. I thought it was a brilliant scene to shoot. I think the end product looked really good.
I was in three of the Harry Potter films without reading one of those book, quite thankfully.
Also, I just think of Draco and he gets me in the right mood. He just keeps getting worse and worse.
