I was only on set for a week, but I learnt so much. What I noticed about The Dark Knight Rises was how high the stakes are - how important it is that you get it right. There's not a lot of mucking around or laughing and joking as there are on some other types of job, it's a very high stakes set and that's exactly how it should be, because there's a lot riding on it.

If I had to pick one single thing, it would be acting for camera. That's what I've always absolutely loved. When I did my first telly role in 1995, I kind of realised that was where my heart lay. But as an actor, unless you're very lucky or you evolve in a certain way, you have to move around to keep working. I've had a lovely and varied stage career, but perhaps now at 40 it doesn't fill me with as much excitement as my other ventures. Show less «

I've got nine tattoos, I'm 5'6", I'm Glaswegian and I'm stocky. In film you tend to work in the area you look like, and since I left Mountview (Theatre School) at 24, every so often I've played these darker roles. Thugs, drug dealers, wife beaters, junkies, whatever, so it's not an area I'm unfamiliar with! Show less «
Even though I was doing all the singing and dancing, at the back of my mind I wanted to do straight acting.

Things started to change a couple of years ago when I did Silent Witness playing head of security for Russian gangsters in London. It was the first time I'd been on screen in a suit and clean shaven. Then last year I got the call to play the headteacher in iBoy. Show less «
