Personal Quote:
On his early decision to become an actor: "I was very small, about 3 or 4 I think, and just wanted to be the people on telly telling these wonderful stories. Obviously the idea grew and matured with me but I can't ever remember wanting to do anything else. I've just sort of taken it for granted all my life that that was what I would do." See more »Trivia:
Won Best Actor Award for his role in 'Richard II' at British Stage Awards 2015. See more »Trademark:
