Christopher Eccleston

It can be very difficult to trace your birth parents.

Lots of middle class people are running around pretending to be Cockney.

I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I love Hindi films.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
