I came from a very, very small valley in the middle of South Wales. I grew up there with my father, who's a coal miner, and my mother worked in a normal factory.

I came from Nebraska, a very middle class family with a progressive father.

When I was a kid, I used to pretend to be Bond; I used to make up scenarios and irritate my sister and annoy my mother and father pretending to be someone else, so I kind of was already acting when I was a child. I just didn't really know it.

In 'Citadel,' I play a very young father. When I first signed onto 'Hunky Dory,' I was actually 18 years old.

My father was a miner and he worked down a mine.

My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
