Sometimes you just have to chop a zombie like a melon. What can I say?
See my family, that is the most important. Otherwise, anything that involves bicycles, peaceful venues or the big wide open.
I don't recall ever deciding to pursue a career in acting.
I have a very weak stomach for horror. I need curtains on the front windows of my house because that heightens the whole fear factor.
I really miss doing stage though, I really do. I actually prefer that, hands down to anything else and I can do it in bits and pieces but it's not that easy to commit to a play. Life's much easier if you can get work in TV or film so I don't know. I'll have a summer hiatus so maybe that's when I can do it.
I'm not religious, but the tradition, the culture and the history are very important to me.
A Fish Called Wanda (1988). The BEST people of the world in ONE film.
I went for the audition, which was shrouded in all kinds of secrecy to keep the storyline under wraps, and 5 days later I was in Atlanta and 700 years older.
I was born in Philadelphia, I lived in New Jersey for a short time, and then I moved to England, when I was a kid. And then, I recently moved to L.A. I'm American by birth, and English by accent. I grew up just outside London, in Surrey.
