I like people and I like hearing their stories. The way that they deliver them is always very particular and I think that their accents are integral to that.

As a younger actor coming up, I wanted to be in films. There's something special about being on film sets there's an excitement the people in every department are passionate about what they do.

For me, if the writing and - by extension - the subject matter and the characters are all good, it doesn't matter if it's film or TV. Each medium has great things going for it.

I think having the opportunity to get inside the skin of people that operate outside the law and normal moral and ethical restraints, and then to go home afterwards leaving them on set, is pretty cathartic. I get to play out all kinds of bad behavior without anyone actually coming to harm.

[Playing] the bad guys tend to be fascinating. Figuring out what makes them do the things they do is what interests me.
