I always look up to people like Michael Gambon and Tommy Lee Jones, and I hope that as I mature I will become as craggy as them.

I was brought up on Dickens. I remember reading 'Bleak House' but, coming back to it, I didn't remember much about it apart from a few characters.

I hope that people look at my whole career and appreciate that I've given everything that I've got.

Nobody knows me, and I hope that it stays like this.

I think of myself as a character actor, compared to a straight actor. I know a character actor in England is pretty much the same as in the States; you're actually hired to put on terrible teeth and stuff like that.

I love going on BBC6 and BBC7 and listening to documentaries.
