I've had the good fortune of studying the 17th-century art of Amsterdam in preparation for a film.
From Jack O'Connell
Since I started acting, I've always been aware of the sort of 'beastly entity' that is America and Hollywood, and semi-consciously, I devised a kind of route in - I'd seen a lot of people try and fail.
I feel like I've grown up on screen quite a lot.
I was a youngster looking up to dudes like Vicky McClure, Joe Dempsie and Michael Socha - in fact, he was a big influence on how I was able to detach drama from the all-singing, all-dancing stigma.
My first experience on a feature film was with Shane Meadows on 'This Is England.'
