'Blind Date' was based on an Australian show called 'Perfect Match', which I first saw when I was on tour there. And I couldn't understand why it wasn't on British T.V.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know, I'm not sure I ever even had a blind date!
The blind date that has stood you up: your life.
I've never done a blind date but my parents met on a blind date.
'Blind Date' was my lifeline. It was 90 minutes when I could forget about everything, forget about the world.
Certain formats should never be forgotten, 'Blind Date' for instance, because 'Britain's Got Talent' is really 'New Faces' or 'The Gong Show,' whilst we're basically 'Opportunity Knocks.'
And I grew up watching all the British ones so when you hear that from an early age, it makes it much easier than you guys who don't grow up with Australian television or British television.
When I first did a U.S. pilot season, there were very few British actors schlepping around town trying to get into television. That was 1999.
'Match of the Day' is a great programme to be on. It's a programme I used to be allowed to stay up and watch from the age of 10, so to think that one day I'd actually appear on it was great.
One week before my 17th birthday, I had a blind date with June Rose, a television actress on network soap operas, a model, and a regular on the popular Dick Clark's Saturday night 'American Bandstand' show from New York. We were married five years later, one week after my graduation from Columbia.
My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.
