1 | I think I was about 18 before I decided I wanted to pursue acting. I went to drama school in Western Australia when I was 19. |
2 | I had wanted to be a fish farmer, to be honest with you. I wanted to be an agriculturist. I wanted to have my own fish farm. I was also contemplating surfboard building. |
3 | 'McLeod's Daughters' was my first regular job out of drama school, and my first full-time role. That was great because I learned a lot, in terms of working in front of the camera. |
4 | On his character Gannicus: He's a bit of the anti-hero in a way I guess. He riles against authority. A big part of the character is playing the differences between him and Spartacus. I didn't want to create a character that would be similar to Spartacus because I thought that would be boring. Essentially I think I have the same moral core, which is the thing that they see in each other that attracts them to each other eventually. |
5 | Often too many expectations are put on by society as to what we're supposed to look like and it's fed to people at an age that's too young. |
6 | I think there's always pieces of yourself that bleed into your character. That's inevitable. |
7 | When I'm not working, I weight train three times a week and swim and surf as much as I can - in the summer, you usually find me in the water. |
8 | You always draw inspiration from your family or your parents if they've proven to be inspirational. My mother is someone who's always been inspirational to me. |
9 | New Zealand is a pretty no-nonsense place to work, like Australia. I mean it doesn't falter to anyone. |
10 | I'm passionate about being an actor, but I'm definitely not passionate about being a sex symbol. |
