As an actor, I like to get a bit of momentum going with a character and kind of work a bit quicker. I mean, not crazy-fast, but, you know, five or six pages a day is a nice pace. ↗

As an actor, my background is in the theater and I feel that my strong suit is period work, but I actually didn't do much of it at all, until the last three or four years. I'm loving it! ↗

I love doing comedy. You don't get many good comedy scripts. They're rare. But, I do love playing comedy. Even in drama, I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human. ↗

I usually look at things like that from an audience perspective first, then have a closer look at the specific character they're talking about me for. ↗

In the past I've worked with directors who saw very much their scene in their head and knew exactly how they were going to cut it. ↗

It's interesting because I haven't done a lot of period work in the past, but I always wanted to because I'm interested in history. ↗
