At Christmas, 'It's a Wonderful Life' makes me cry in exactly the same places every time, even though I know it's coming.
Nicholas Lea
Everything has an end.
It makes you realise that people are the same wherever you go.
My sister is a nurse and saves people's lives.
I just wanted to act. I didn't want to do anything else.
It's not that fun to just play a villain, without any reasoning behind it.
So, I completely and utterly support David and Gillian's decision to go to Los Angeles, but I think that Vancouver is the perfect location for the show.
My goal is to be living back in Canada as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere in the Gulf Islands.
L.A. to me is not really an attractive place.
I think somebody who speaks the language is going to notice immediately that I'm not Russian.
I think everyone has some fascination with what's outside our existence. It's a constant journey to find the truth.
I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came.
When I'm on my deathbed, I'll hopefully be able to count more friends than parts that I had.
We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books - pages and pages on it.
I've spent so much time the last seven, eight years in Los Angeles, away from my family, away from my friends, away from the city that is my favourite place to be and I just want to come here and have a proper life.
Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience.
I really enjoy the people. I find them to be better educated and wittier.
When you're doing a series like this, you're constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.
It changed my life in a lot of ways - before I got that role I was just going from job to job, not really having enough money to be able to do what I wanted to do.
We both have a great loyalty to it, and I think that it's important to give it our best shot.
Two shows at once is crazy, but I love it.
And I've been lucky in that I haven't had another job besides acting in the last five years.
There's one site where you can buy pictures of me for five bucks a pop.
My heritage is English, so I'm proud to be back here.
You can be in an acting class all you want, but you don't fully learn until you get off that stage and in front of a camera.
I felt that K wasn't getting a fair shake anyway.
It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy.
I'm living in L.A. but my heart's in Vancouver.
It seems there's a sliding scale between the money they spend on a movie and its creativity.
I'm trying to do the kind of projects that I want to see in the theatre.
I would like to look back on my career and be proud of what I've done.
That's sort of what I like about this character is that he's not the good guy, he's not truly the bad guy.
I don't care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it's all about time and money eventually.
Comedy and drama are both challenging to me.
Certainly, when I walk into an audition, a lot of people already know who I am.
