Joanna warned me about this when we first made Unrelated,“ he recalls. "She said, ‘It’s going to be very easy to put you in period stuff.’ And obviously she’s right. When a casting director sees a Cambridge graduate who’s tall, well-spoken, classics degree, they think, 'Put him in a waistcoat and send him out.’ But that wasn’t the reason I became an actor, to fill that niche. It was because of much more muscular things: In The Name Of The Father, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, The French Connection. It was because of Brando and De Niro. So I’ve always tried to resist it. I never wanted to be the go-to guy for tails and waistcoats. [x][x]
