When I left school I joined the merchant navy at 16 and painted my way across the world going to the USA, Canada, India, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. I sailed through the Panama and the Suez Canal without even having a passport. I left that and worked driving a van for a few years. I was on the dole and was bored out of my skull so I d...
The best is not knowing what the next job is, and the worst is not knowing what the next job is. There are periods of elation when things come together and periods of despair when they don’t but hey, I chose this life.
Working in depth with Ken was like no other job I’ve done. First of all, you don’t get the full script. You are kept in the dark as to how it all pans out. You are given the scene a day or two before and Ken shoots the film in total sequence. You are doing scene one on day one etc but as actors we don’t know what will happen to our characters. When...
It has to be Looking For Eric. It was a challenge, an adventure and it opened a lot of doors for me.
I’m in the no man’s land of ‘resting’ at the moment ie unemployed. I’ve had a mad few months of working back to back on various things. I think it all balances itself out and I’m waiting to hear from a few things, as they say. I never speak about anything that’s coming up until it’s in the can.
I love nothing better during the day than doing the cryptic crossword in the MEN whilst drinking tea and having a cig. No daytime TV, no radio, no outside input. Just tea, nicotine and brain fry. I also love to spend time with my daughters and granddaughter. She’s a little treasure. I adore her, we argue, I think kids stink and she thinks granddads...
The people, plain and simple. I love how direct and honest they are even when they insult you. I love the bands, the poets, the theatres, the clubs, the pubs, the venues.
It has to be the pubs I frequent in Whitefield. They’re full of real people who don’t hold back. We seem to be constantly insulting and berating each other. There’s an old guy called Billy who saw me in Vera. My character was called Gorgeous George. He pointed at me and said: “Gorgeous George, my arse!” He was laughing so much, I thought he was gon...
I’d build a small outdoor stage in the city centre for The Piccadilly Rats and let them book other buskers. I’d get rid of pointless jobs like mayor and half the bureaucrats in the town hall, and kit out the underground tunnels for a homeless shelter. Looking For Ericis available at all the usual outlets.
