I'm a vagabond. I have a suitcase that is ready to go at a moment's notice. The thought of being in one place for a long time, or playing one character for a long time, is terrifying for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always lived out of a suitcase. I was in a new city every three months. When I was a model, I traveled the world, and as an actor you're traveling from movie set to movie set. So I've never been in one place long enough for anything super-bad to happen.
I always have a suitcase ready to go. My wife and I are both very much like this. We're both vagabonds, and we have been since the time we were married.
I've done a lot of weird, otherworldly characters, and I think I'm at my best when I'm kind of in the woods running around screaming or depressed.
I have a character failing. I am quite incapable of identifying with anything whole-heartedly. Whatever I am doing, I am always planning to do something else. I would rather travel than arrive.
I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.
I've been really lucky to play sort of a diverse array of characters over my relatively short career, although it feels really long.
I think in many ways, I'm sort of a blank canvas, because in many ways, I'm just observing the world and the people around me and their characters and letting them kind of explode off me and to find out why they're doing what they're doing. But then every once in awhile, I get to take on a whole new character.
I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.
I feel like I could carry a movie or a show, and I'll mess up here and there, and I'll learn from those things.
For me to have the opportunity to stay with one character for, God willing, a long period of time, is really exciting.
