Bedford & Pearce Management

Who do you most admire?:

Hard question...I admire so many people from many different vocations and walks of life. I am constantly amazed by the burns unit surgeon, Fiona Wood. She has a tribe of children, is married, works like a Trojan and still makes it to her 5am session at the gym every morning. She cooks, cleans and saves people's lives...respect.

What's your favourite thing about being an actor?:

It's such a great outlet for putting yourself in someone else's shoes, their thoughts, feelings etc. It can be a conduit for a real understanding of other people, cultures and demographics. It can be a heartening experience...and maybe sometimes it simply gives you license to show off!

If you could play any role, who would it be?:

Another hard question! I always thought a crazy, rabid bitch would be very cathartic, that's the obvious answer, but I think it's easier. Playing someone who is close, but a few degrees removed from our natural selves is the most challenging. So the answer is...I don't know!
 

If you could choose your next Hollywood leading man, who would it be?:

This is going to be a weird answer, Paul Giamatti, he doesn't act. I love it. He may not look like a leading man, but that feeling he exudes is that he's kind of happy in his own skin. Selfishly, I think I could learn so much just being in his general vicinity.

When you win your Oscar who is the first person you'll thank?:

Nope...Not answering that one :)
