British people are surprised that I'm British!
From David Harewood
I loved working with Mandy Patinkin, I have to say.
I always get this feeling on my last day of work that I'm never going to work again.
Everybody can, you know, go online, read about something, and have an opinion about something.
There are countless fantastic actors out there who are being denied the opportunity to play Broadway because they're not a name, and I think that's kind of wrong.
British people are surprised that I'm British! It's extraordinary, I get tweets every day from British people saying, 'I had no idea you were British.'
When my agent told me I had an audition for 'Friar Tuck,' I burst out laughing. It actually brought a bit of sunshine to my day. I was thinking: fat suit. I was thinking: shaving my head. It was so outlandish, such a crazy idea.
I've done so much different stuff, people kinda go, 'Do you live in Islington?' 'Did you used to go to so and so school?' And when I say I'm an actor, they don't believe me!
It would be extraordinary if the BBC were to make me the first black 'Doctor Who;' it would be extraordinary.
When I was in South Africa, I went for dinner with some friends, and I knew more about their history than they did - it just hasn't been told.
