Quotes It’s strange, but the breaks all seem to have been a series of baby steps rather than one ‘big break’. There seems to have been a progression of good jobs leading to others, but I suppose playing David in The Bible was big in the sense that it gave me quite a lot of exposure in the US, and it was in fact that role that Greg Yaitanes (showrunner of Banshee) saw me in, which led to him offering me the part of Colonel Stowe on Banshee. I honestly don’t have a preference, as long as the character has an interesting emotional journey. Very often early on in my career I had to play a lot of ‘bad guys’ or ‘cannon fodder’ who were written very two dimensionally. The challenge was to make those characters have some kind of inner life. I’m pickier now than I was about which roles I play. Divorce was the most difficult, painful experience I’ve ever gone through, one which I’d not wish on my worst enemy, especially when children are involved. My biggest challenge as an actor was learning to stand my ground when people have tried to take advantage of me. Performing artists make easy victims, because we generally want to please everyone.
