[When asked how he got into acting and whether it was something he always wanted to do]
My father was a bit of a film buff and when I was young I remember watching many wonderful movies with him, real classics. His enthusiasm for a great story, be it on film or in a book, certainly rubbed off on me. I do remember telling him [more than] once that I would like to be an actor, but I was very young at the time and wondering and dreaming about many things. I have certainly taken a circuitous and unorthodox route through life to eventually become an actor. I believe acting, and the opportunity that arose to get a classical drama college education, really finally found me and sort of forced my hand - in some ways there was almost a weird inevitability about it.
