My dad's a worker, an electrician, a bog standard job. Nothing glamorous like a footballer, but yet he still provided me with what I needed.

My dad, he was a construction worker. He was a butcher. He was a deep sea fisherman.

He was using me. When he cast me in Sideways I was nothing but a vessel.

I'm lucky because my dad taught me to be frugal and save. And that's important because I want to know that I don't have to take an acting job for two or three years if I don't want to and that I'll still be able to make my house and car payments and buy food for my dogs.

It doesn't make my job quite as glamorous as it seems.

My mum is a school teacher and my dad is an electrician.
