I was born in 1971, and Tom Baker was sort of my obsession as a kid and that's why we got him to do the voice over for 'Little Britain' because I was actually obsessed with Tom Baker.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't ask me who my favourite monster was because I'm sick of saying Tom Baker.
When I'm in London, it feels like I am that character who is 'Tom Odell.'
I was equally in love with singing and acting from an early age.
I used to watch a lot of American and British television as a child, which helped teach me the language and accents; it was partly that which landed me the part of Roxy in a London production of 'Chicago' when I was 25.
I've become very close with Tom Hardy. I love Tom to bits.
I grew up with the great Sir Laurence Olivier, and I think it's fair to say that a lot of actors of my age were influenced by his very individual vocal delivery. He was a showman who would always play to the gallery.
I was still thought of as a kid actor even though I was in my mid twenties.
My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in.
I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.
Growing up, I had an insane crush on Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys.
