Personal Quote:

There was never any career plan. When Red Dwarf started I thought we were doing a curious little sitcom on BBC2, I didn't think I was becoming an actor. I didn't see that 21 years later I'd still be talking about it, let alone filming a new one. For me, everything's always been an accident. See more »
