Education has always been very important to me.

I hate trying to play charming. Thinking about being charming is really tough.

Americans always ask how much I love my accent, and I don't get that - I think I sound like a school teacher.

In England, I suppose I have been known to once or twice tune into 'Big Brother', which is a pretty terrible guilty pleasure.

If you can play lots of different characters, that's fun. As long as the material is good, that's what the attraction is for me.

I left Facebook after Facebook groups began appearing about me and suddenly your personal photographs start becoming public property.

What attracted me to acting, from the start, was playing different characters. I'm not a massive fan of just playing myself on screen.

I've got a pretty close bond with everyone in my family. I've got a brother and a sister whom I'm very close to, and my parents have always been the world's best parents.

I think its really important for your mental health to think about the big questions, to discuss them and open your mind, in order to prepare you for both life and death.

I would most like to do film or TV. Possibly theatre in the future, but I'm in L.A. a lot of the time at the moment and if I was going to do theatre it would be in London.

It was fun playing a horrible, snotty kid in 'Harry Potter', and then playing Prince Charming where I was also singing and playing guitar, and then playing a completely different character.

I'm not a huge social media kind of guy, so I don't really know, I don't really ever get... at least in real life, I really don't get recognized. I think people seem to find it very difficult to connect me to characters I've played.

There are plenty of actors who've caught the singing bug and vice versa, but with musical performers, you're constantly a persona - which is something I love about acting: you play a character, you leave and you get to be yourself again.

I really enjoyed my degree, for me it was the best course you can do. To be able to study the brain and nervous system and the mind with a scientific approach is just incredible! Its philosophical, psychological and biological, three very interesting areas to me.

If my dramatic career doesn't work out, I will go on to research and find cures for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's and other motor neuron diseases. It's a very exciting field of research. But I'd like to continue in drama, so it wouldn't be very smart of me if I blew this amazing opportunity with an inappropriate lifestyle.
