QUOTES

(the difference between tv and stage) The big difference I think between tv and stage is definitely the immediate buzz that you get. And that's not just as an actor, as an audience member you're getting the chance to have this kind of two-way process where the actors and the audience are experiencing the same thing. With tv you often have to wait months and months down the line to actually get the pay-off. Whereas with theatre it's a very immediate thing
***********************************************************
(his earliest memory from theatre) Probably my first memory of theatre, the first one I guess that had an impact on me was when I saw my very first panto with my Primary School. I think just going there and experience that for the first time, being so young, it's something that's actually stuck with me right up until now. And to think back and to sort of remember that magic and that first little hint of it was brilliant.
***********************************************************
(On changing his Irish accent for his role in Merlin) I was using my own accent for all the auditions and at the last stage they were like, 'Well, we want to try you with an English accent'. And I think it was a good decision in the end, because I think it's quite a bold decision already to do a show about a young Merlin, and a young Arthur, so making Merlin from Northern Ireland as well was probably pushing the boat out a bit far. - Belfast Telegraph, September 26 2009.
***********************************************************
(when he learnt had been cast as Merlin) When they told me I'd been cast I was ridiculously delighted. I ran around my flat screaming.
***********************************************************
(on nearly quitting acting): I was planning on travelling but all of my friends were auditioning for something so I thought I'd do it for the experience.
***********************************************************
(on the best and worst things about living in London) I love that entertainment scene. You can do anything in this city. You can't get bored. I don't like the crowds though. I get really frustrated with them. But the stupid thing is, everyone in the crowd is frustrated
***********************************************************
(on how much like Merlin he is) I'm extremely enthusiastic and Merlin is like that. He gets involved in every challenge and always gives 100 per cent
***********************************************************
One of the most important things is to remind yourself of where you are from and be thankful. I don't for a second take anything for granted. That's a good way to start your day.

My dad always says be nice to the people on the way up because you'll need them on the way down.
