director english friend gave lead loved parts scripts sports teacher
My English teacher always gave me scripts for plays, but I was into sports. My friend said there were small parts I could go up for, but the director gave me the part of Mozart, which was kind of the lead role. From then on I just loved it.
leading
How you look is part of what acting is, but the way I look at it, every actor is a character actor. Someone once told me at a casting, 'You're a character actor in a leading man's body,' and I can live with that.
york
I've been to New York a lot. I grew up in London but I'm from Chile originally.
attitude country four gives languages learning time
I've never been in any country for more than four years, and I'm learning different languages all the time. It gives you a different attitude.
against fought great latin offered sort stories telling
In America, I am brown; I'm 'of colour', so I would be offered Latin roles, and I've fought against that. I don't want to be put in a category, to be just offered the same sort of thing. For me, it's all about different roles, telling the stories of the great writers.
bunch
I own two or three pairs of jeans and a bunch of T-shirts.
diet drinking eating loads love maybe sitting watch
I don't really watch what I eat. I love sitting around with friends and eating loads and drinking loads for hours. Maybe when I'm 40 I'll worry about my diet.
