acting basics craft front learning second spend stage takes third time trained unlike
In England, when we're at drama school, we spend a lot of time learning the craft from playwrights and stage actors, who are very well trained in the basics of acting because they need to get it right the first time - you can't have second or third takes when you're in front of a live audience, unlike in film.
hang parties posh
I don't go to royal parties or play polo on horseback. No, I don't hang out with the posh crowd, if that makes sense.
wants
I think it's every actor's dream to play a character that's really odd, and you know no one wants to play himself.
work
L.A. is my office. I come here for work and work only.
hope might ranks realistic
Going through the ranks and all the training you do as an actor, you hope you're going to make it. But there's a part of you that's got to be realistic and say: 'Look, it might not happen to me.'
recommend smaller
Get yourself into every audition that you can. Even in those for smaller roles, you'll never know when someone may recommend you for a bigger one.
bottom people seem
I come from the bottom of the ladder. I'm from Norwich. Not many people seem to know about it.
acting dream giving hard land realise seem
There will be times when you just can't seem to land an acting job, and you feel like giving up. Don't! The only way to realise that dream is to keep working hard for it.
famous five name sort
A famous actor told me once - I don't want to name names, I hate that sort of thing - but I was at his house and he said, 'Are you on Twitter?' I said, 'Yes, I am.' And he said, 'There'll be one day when you'll have, like, five friends. And in the same day it'll go to five thousand.'
dirty spray
I'm very English. I'm white. I mean, I'm so pale. With spray tans they start peeling and start getting really dirty looking.
boys cleaner generally
I've lived with boys and girls, and I find that boys are generally cleaner than girls. Generally! This is a big generalization!
way pressure actors
I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.
hero men wonderful
PSH - I am genuinely shocked, saddened and speechless. A truly wonderful man, with a magical touch. My hero. Thoughts are with his family
things-change streets walks
If anything changes, I'll just take it in stride. For now, I can still walk down the street and quite happily not get noticed.
