Ian McShane

Every actor has to love and loathe the character he plays.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.

My second marriage was to a girl I met in Manchester, kept a long-distance relationship going for two years, then we got married... disaster.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

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