As A Child I'd Get Given Parts

I Think I Was About 16 When I First Figured I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Wanted To Be A Fighter Pilot Before That, But Then I Thought I Don't Want To Kill People So That Ruled That Out.

I Always Wanted To Be A Teacher. A Bit Of Me Still Wants To Be A Teacher.

Also I Don't Want To Refer To Myself As Maximilian. You'd Have To Win An Oscar Or Become Mind-numbingly Wealthy Or Hit 50. It's Like Smoking A Cigar, You Know What I Mean? You Can't Be A Young Guy And Do It.

I Want To Keep Working. I Want To Step Away From Young Adult Fiction. I Want To Do Theater Periodically - Farragut North Reminded Me How Great It Is. I Started Out In Theater. I Trained In Theater And Then I Kind Of Fell Into Film And Tv. I Want To Work With Interesting Artists, Talented Actors, Talented Directors, And Talented Scripts. Not Necessarily Leading Roles.

In Fact, When I Met Kit Harington First, He Was Pretty Much Feeling How I'm Feeling Today - At A Photo Shoot And You've Had No Sleep. He Was Just A Really Nice, English, Down-to-earth Guy. No Pretense, Nothing.
