fun guy good-guy
I love playing bad guys; they're always much more fun than the good guy.
focus waste calm
Strangely enough, I find myself more centered in chaos than in calm, and again I'm not sure whether that's a strength or says something weird about me, but I love a crisis. I'm normally very, very organized in the middle of chaos, and then when I have nothing to focus on, extremely disorganized, and I tend to waste a lot of time.
dad self agents
I grew up in Queensland, and my dad was a tradesman and my mum an insurance agent, both self-employed.
watches series knows
I don't watch the beginnings of many series; I don't know why - maybe because I'm normally working.
running character long
A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.
thinking guy focus
If we spent the majority of our focus just concentrating on our side of the street, not so much on what the next guy is doing, I think I'd get a lot more done - we'd all get a lot more done - and we'd probably have a lot less criticism for everybody else.
mean media actors
Money is tighter now, with the advertising dollar spread a lot more thinly across a whole range of media because of the Internet. It means the television networks have less power to produce shows, and TV is where most Australian actors make their money.
mind-your-own-business mind mind-your-own
Mind your own business.
thinking people feelings
I'm a person who doesn't necessarily enjoy feeling vulnerable, so I think my loved ones and my family make me feel vulnerable. Also, being connected with people when I'm working is a very vulnerable place to be.
children passion two
The process of acting, not necessarily the business of acting, but the actual doing of it in the moment is my greatest kind of personal passion, the thing that brings me alive the most. Also, my two children.
break disappoint one-thing
When I really get invested in something, the one thing that really disappoints me is when it breaks its own rules.
running fun fighting
The funny thing is, the older I get, the less I enjoy talking when I act. I don't like talking anymore. I like behavior. All of the running and gunning, and the fights and the stunts, is just awesome fun.
character scripts looks
I pretty much always choose characters. That's what I do. That's what I look for. I look for dynamics in a script and potential.
ignorance roots evil
The truth that I know for sure is that I may have an opinion, but I do not know the truth, and the other thing I know for sure is that certainty is the root of all ignorance and the root of all evil.
