If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.

I've hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I'm a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That's what I get for being a single dad - suspicious looks at the playground.

My mum's parents were from Ireland, my dad's mum was American-Irish.

The kiss always gets a hell of a reaction.

I'm not a great fan of green screen. It's not much fun for actors. It's great for directors and technical people and cameramen.

Apparently it'll all settle down and they'll forget about it soon.

You've got to grab every opportunity that comes up.

I've always wanted to play more comic parts.

People seem to think I'm Satan.

I'm a rather crude cook.
