Personal Quote:

I went to America to get away from constantly being cast in costume dramas, playing posh people. It's interesting that I've been cast as a working-class cop [ The Wire] because I doubt that would happen at home. The films I most enjoy in England are by Mike Leigh and Ken Loach, but it's very unlikely I would be cast in them; I've tried a few times, but I'm perceived as posh. See more »

Trivia:

Attended Eton College, Berkshire. When he was in his first year, he boldly asked the Head of Drama for a part in the school play. The teacher was so amused that he cast him as the prostitute. Also schooled there, though two years behind, was Band of Brothers and Life star Damian Lewis. See more »
