September 2009

1) When did you realise that you wanted to be an actor?I’ve wanted to be an actor for almost as long as I can remember, but I was 22 before I realised I had a chance to make a go of it. I enjoyed all forms of the work, both stage and screen although I don’t think musicals are my forte: my dancing was and I suspect, always will be worse than average. 

2) If you could be granted one wish, what would it be and why?
If I had one wish it would be to keep on doing what I’m doing for as long as I’m able.

3) If someone wrote a series based around Alistair Deacon would you be up for it or do you prefer to keep on moving?
If someone were to write a series based on Alistair, I’d be a fool to turn it down. I’m sure it would be possible to move forward while doing such a project. The chances of that happening are pretty slim, I should think, the further we get from the original series.

4) Do you have a favourite Country?
I don’t really have a favourite country. I just like going to new places and seeing new things. I keep getting drawn back to the South of France and Italy. I guess they pretty high up the list.

5) What makes you laugh and what makes you cringe?Classic American sitcom (Seinfield, Frasier, Friends) and The Simpsons always make me laugh. A lot of reality TV makes me cringe and not that just because it’s taking drama off our screens (at least in Briton) and hence work away from people like me.
