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.
It’s not that fun to just play a villain, without any reasoning behind it.
Certainly, when I walk into an audition, a lot of people already know who I am.
Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience.
My goal is to be living back in Canada as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere in the Gulf Islands.
There’s one site where you can buy pictures of me for five bucks a pop.
I would like to look back on my career and be proud of what I’ve done.
And I’ve been lucky in that I haven’t had another job besides acting in the last five years.
Comedy and drama are both challenging to me.
I just wanted to act. I didn’t want to do anything else.
When you’re doing a series like this, you’re constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.
Ive 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.
We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books – pages and pages on it.
I think everyone has some fascination with what’s outside our existence. It’s a constant journey to find the truth.
I think somebody who speaks the language is going to notice immediately that I’m not Russian.
I don’t care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it’s all about time and money eventually.
I’m trying to do the kind of projects that I want to see in the theatre.
It seems there’s a sliding scale between the money they spend on a movie and its creativity.
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.
When I’m on my deathbed, I’ll hopefully be able to count more friends than parts that I had.
I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came.
