Benjamin Walker

I went to Julliard and we did a lot of mask work there, and I remember thinking in class, 'When am I ever going to use this?'

The place I feel most at home is when I have health insurance. I really don't care how I get it, whether it's on film, or television or waiting tables, you know?

I'd consider myself a flailing comedy writer.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

I had a kind of Dickensian childhood.
