As I laid in the hospital bed I started thinking that I had a show to do. I was hoping the Doctor would put me together so I could do the show.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After doing 'Doctor Who,' I'm open-minded to doing more acting. Part of the reason you do a show like this is because it creates other opportunities you haven't had before.
I used to be a real doctor. Now I just play one on TV.
It wasn't until I got involved in 'Doctor Who' that I started doing dramas on television.
What I'd love to do is every now and then go, 'Oh my God, I've got this amazing idea for 'Doctor Who.'
My plan was to go to New York and do some theatre, and then I got the script for 'Psych.' I was like, 'Ahh - just as I thought I was out, you pulled me back in!' I had a great meeting with the show creator and we laid out the parameters to make the show work: what I would do, what he would let me do.
I was once doing an improv show and it was my turn to jump on stage and I fell on my face. It's a really terrible way to start a show.
I'm not going to take a show unless I'm not sure I can do it. You have to have that sort of adrenaline.
While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.
'Doctor Who' began as family television: a show that kids and their parents and grandparents can all watch, maybe even together, on the sofa.
I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.
