Barry Sloane

I've never seen any character I've ever played as a bad guy or a good guy.

I was born with an evil face.

I'd been gearing up to working in theatre since coming out of drama school, but it was an exciting time for TV drama - it was the birth of Channel 4, and Brookside was very cutting-edge at the time.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.
