Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.

You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.

In my 20 years as a photographer, covering conflicts from Bosnia to Gaza to Iraq to Afghanistan, injured civilians and soldiers have passed through my life many times.

I actually had a movie green lit at Disney the same week 'Burlesque' was green lit - a movie for Disney called 'Mash-Up', about a high school marching band.
