It was my bad-wig movie, |

That's the point. You think you could be in that situation. It brings up all those universal anxieties about flying, even before the story turns dark. |

Yeah, I suppose slightly more people now can pronounce my name. It's all about recognition, isn't it? I have a funny cognizance of the fact that Hollywood is about commerce and art; it's an uncomfortable mixture of the two. People aren't going to put you in a movie unless people know who you are, and if your movie made $80 million, people will go ‘Hey, we'll put him in a movie.' It isn't necessarily about the performance, so yeah, that was great and it means you get to read scripts and meet people that you wouldn't have done in the past. |
You're an actor who's Irish, not an Irish actor. And you shouldn't be limited by your extraction. |
