Brian Gleeson

I loved 'Lord of the Rings,' growing up, so I always wanted to play a wizard with a staff.

I was always goofing around. I suppose having a father who was an actor made you think that it was a real possibility as a career.

Film acting is so different from theatre acting, and TV is about letting things pay off and not winning every scene.

There's a lot of Irish in London and have been for years - they're very much a part of the city.

I'm crazy in how boring I am.

America's very refreshing when you go over there; they're all just open about what they want, and they want you to be open, too.

For me, Domhnall is an acting teacher as much as anything. If I turn out to be half the actor he is, I'll be happy.

Like 'Love/Hate,' maybe 'Taken Down' can get people talking as well.

Love/Hate' was a milestone in terms of working on something at home that felt very special.

I've led a very middle-class, very boring kind of life.

Channel 4 always do really great stuff; they do great comedies.

My father is an actor as well, so I used to look to him.
