I like films that deal with some of those questions that you can never answer. Why are we here? What's it about? What happens to us with the choices that we make? What are the ramifications for doing something right, or doing something wrong? Those universal questions, I enjoy.
Dominic Monaghan
I love going to work. I love being on-set everyday. It feeds me it's exciting.
