James D'arcy

I went further and further back through the centuries to get a sense of perspective but now at least I understand why Irish history evokes such strong passions and emotions.

I'm attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.

I talked to everyone about the project: actors and extras, members of the crew and passers by.

I'm so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.

I received my high school baccalaureate diploma in Latin and Science in 1928, then my two baccalaureate diplomas in Mathematics and Philosophy in 1929.

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