I Love Playing Villains.

Every Job Is Different. I Don't Think That I've Ever Had That Wonderful Feeling When You've Finished A Job Or Where You Feel Like You've Mastered It Or Sort Of Nailed It... You Can Never Be Satisfied. If You're Satisfied, It's Time To Retire.

I Think, Because Of My Background, Which Is Slightly More Exotic Than The Average British Actor, I Think, I Sort Of Occupied This Little Niche Quite Early On Of Playing The Foreign Guy. It Started Way Back At Drama School, I Played An Eastern European Heavy, I Played The Russian Mobster. And I Have Done All Those Different Ethnic Roles, And I Think It's Partly Because Of My Look, I Think I've Got An Adaptable Sort Of Nondescript Ethnicity, Which You Can't Quite Pin Down, But It's Enough To Kind Of Get A Flavor Of Something.

I Think It Would Be A Problem If Hollywood Was Casting British Actors Only As Villains; If That Were The Case, Then Certainly There Would Be Cause For Concern.

Music Is An Essential Part Of My Life And I'm Completely Lost Without A Good Album To Listen To Or My Ipod In My Pocket!

I Enjoy Playing Villains - I'm Very Proud That I Belong To A Very Honorable Tradition Of British Actors Who Come To Hollywood To Play The Bad Guys. At Some Point In American Film, I Think There Was The Idea That The British Accent Had A Tone To It That's A Little Bit Naughty.
