I’m not a great fan of green screen. It’s not much fun for actors. It’s great for directors and technical people and cameramen.

I don’t know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it’s because we’re cheap.

I’m a rather crude cook.

I’ve always wanted to play more comic parts.

I’m only stopped by people in uniform, whether it’s customs people, janitors, or the FBI – they all watch ‘The Wire.’ Sadly, beautiful, glamorous women don’t know anything about it.

Apparently it’ll all settle down and they’ll forget about it soon.

I look ridiculous in a three-piece suit – I’m too fat.

No, I don’t think ‘The Wire’ screwed up my career at all.

Since I got married my wife doesn’t really let me wear anything that I used to because she says I have no taste at all.

My mum’s parents were from Ireland, my dad’s mum was American-Irish.
