I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college.
I've been really lucky to have had a variety of roles, and I don't think I'm in danger of being typecast as the romantic lead. I think there's honour in working as constantly as you can. That isn't easy. And I'm no matinee idol.
I love little theatres because it's very intimate, and you can have a very easy rapport with the audience. Everyone's in the same room.
'Rome' plays on universal human emotions that hopefully people can relate to. Historians are always going to be offended by it.
The success of 'Rome' was in making the history accessible and giving viewers everyman characters through which they can connect to historical figures. It stops the story from being too remote.
