When you're playing a character for 10 years, it can challenge you less than it did at the beginning, so it was exciting to take on some new shoes. Especially with Erich Blunt, because being a tech wizard wasn't something I thought I would do after Harry Potter.
I'd rather play a character that was really, really different to me as to someone who is quite close to my character.
People always tell me I'm nothing like my character. Well, hopefully not! He's a character who's very defined. He was purposefully written by Jo Rowling as very one-dimensional in the first few books, because you're supposed to hate him.
I already love the idea that Barry has a colleague. It seems like a love/hate thing between my character and his already. They work together, so they clearly have some tolerance for each other, but they're just ruffling each other up the wrong way, constantly. I don't know whether that will lead to him being suspicious of Barry's identity or whether he'll have some clash with The Flash.
[In the Flash my character] is not even CSI, it's forensic, talking about the stratum corneum...Yeah, I was referring to my Latin book often to make sure I pronounce things correct.
Biggest worry is trying to figure out why they are in the state they are in, if its not a trauma type situation like a car accident or something like that, if it's a medical you really feel behind behind the problem, but if you can have an idea what you are dealing with it puts us that much farther ahead in helping that patient out.
If a challenge arises that needs mathematics to solve it, I like to be able to know how to do it. I do find solving some things entertaining.
I am looking to get into the grime rap U.K. scene.
I have been to New York before, but when I was quite young and filming my first ever commercial which we filmed in Time Square which was cool.
To act upset, I think of cold things - don't ask me why!
It's somewhat new, something that's just getting out and about, hopefully it catches on, it would be really good.
This project is an exciting opportunity for us. Our ability to self perform much of the work is key to meeting this very challenging schedule.
I had been working for eight years and all I had to show for it was this horrible debt. At one point we had the bailiff at the door.
It took us a lot of man hours to get that bloody white hair out, so it's good to get rid of it.
