I never once dreamed of sort of being able to be in an American TV series, you know? It was all about theater and touring and sort of being an actor around Scottish theater.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It never occurred to me that I'd be on a television show or in feature films but when those came into play my dreams changed along the way.
I had no aspirations to be part of American cinema... I was really a Europe-based person, and those were the films I was inspired by.
I never imagined I was going to do movies. My dreams were to become a regional theater actor.
I have done film, television and theatre - all at a pretty substantial level - I don't think it's possible for American actors to do that.
I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.
All I wanted was to be a regional-theater actor, to be in a company. I thought it would be a great life. I don't think I understood how difficult it would be.
I guess my silly dream is to be on 'Game of Thrones.' I don't think that I can do that, but that's my silly dream. And there are a lot of American comedies, particularly on NBC, that I would, I would love to do.
We always thought that we'd go on from the show to have a career in movies.
I would like to be able to be both a film actor and a stage actor - to be an American actor in the style of a lot the English actors who do films. They are these wonderful actors who can do everything.
It's a dream for everyone to be a part of an American series - a huge, successful series. It's just a gift for me.
