To be with Derek Jacobi and Stellan Skarsgard, it's a master class in acting every day.
characters open
We don't really get to see gay characters who are completely open with their sexuality, but it doesn't define who they are.
amongst deal kid known peers school taught tv
When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them. It's not easy being known as 'the kid from the TV show.' Not in school it's not.
No one in safe in 'Game of Thrones.'
geek love since watched
I've watched 'Doctor Who' since I was a kid. I loved it, and I still love it. I can geek out about it, like when I go to set and see the TARDIS.
classes naturally
Oh, I am not naturally gifted in dancing in any way! Stupidly, I didn't go to those classes in drama school. I was like, 'I don't need that; I'll never be dancing in anything.'
people
I know people like Jon Snow a lot.
I kind of started 'Game of Thrones' as a really young actor and not a lot on my CV.
amazing horses
I'm lucky to get jobs where I get these amazing film horses that make me look much better than I am.
job maybe
I need to kind of get a job that's going to take me to, like, Hawaii or Rio or something, right? Maybe I need to make better decisions with that.
change philip
I like to try to change things up a bit in the way that actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman or Michael Fassbender did and do.
awareness job trying
I only have an awareness of what I'm trying to achieve as an actor and what my job as the character is to service.
good parts played romeo
I played Romeo when I was younger, and I think I did a couple kind Romeo-like parts after that, and I kind of went, 'I mustn't do this again. I must always choose something that I don't know if I'm a good enough actor to play.'
hours love rather six
I love doing television; it's such a brilliant way to tell a story over six hours rather over the two hours of doing a movie.
