Personal Quote:
One of the very, very exciting things I have found here in L.A. is that no one talks to you about being Scottish. Whereas, if you are in London and you are trying to put films together and be a film-maker, there is a kind of unspoken sense that, if you are Scottish, you have something to overcome or else you cannot really do that project. See more »Trivia:
Maternal grandson of Alexander (1900-1981) and Mary (née Prior) Soutar (1911-1967). See more »Trademark:
Prominent angry eyebrows which he has called "attack eyebrows" See more »Nickname:
