I've played four characters now, my latest one being Sandor the gypsy.

Professor Stokes has a more cultured accent, and in many ways, he is the hardest one to do, because he is closest to my own voice.

We played really solid defense. Once we got the four runs there might have been a little overconfidence, but I guess that's better than having a losing attitude. We let them climb back in but we played solid defense until we could squeeze a run in on them in the ninth inning.

It's one thing if [the Conservatives] had four or five years to deal with it. It's another thing if you're a minority government -- a slim minority. Forget about bank executives -- I don't think you'll find a single analyst who'd be surprised.

I decided to produce my own pitch, which was similar to the one on which we played Australia four years ago.

I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.
