When Tom Hanks is in a film, you know it's going to be good.
Tom Glynn-Carney
I'm from Salford, and I don't have any immediate Irish connection.
My dad and his brothers were involved in amateur dramatics. From an early age, I was dragged along to rehearsals when they couldn't get childcare. I was watching pensioners dance around in sweatpants, which was very traumatic for a young child.
People have said, 'Oh, but you don't look like you're from Manchester.' And I always want to ask, 'What the hell does someone from Manchester look like?'
I've never actually been exposed to the hardships that proper soldiers endure. I also think you need a particular constitution to be a soldier - built a certain way and wired a certain way. I don't know if I'd be too good with being told what to do all the time. I am a law-abider, but I've got a lot of questions and opinions, so maybe not.
I had to leave my three-year acting course at Guildhall a little early to start filming Chris Nolan's 'Dunkirk.' It was an absolute dream come true.
I was quite frustrated by school and found solace in going to the drama studio, doing stupid voices, and being an idiot. I then went to Guildhall School of Music and Drama and signed with a great agent in my third year.
I want to do everything and be greedy in that way - film, TV, radio, theatre. If it's juicy work, I want it!
I play the lead in 'Dunkirk', a part I was absolutely gagging for!
