Which of the roles youāve played do you think has been the most impactful?
Elementary taught me a lot because it was such a slick operation and Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller are both such great actors. The thing I loved was they were very responsive to what you do with the character ā the producers and writers allowed you to have creative freedom. If you said, āIs it OK if I play it like this?ā they welcome you developing the character because they write it as you go along. Whereas with British TV everythingās written in advance. Hooten & The Lady was challenging ā we got to travel all over the place and youāre stroking an elephantās trunk (thatās not an innuendo!) and thinking, āIām in Cambodia, this is absolutely madā. If I was able to tell 10-year-old me sheād be in Cambodia filmingā¦you dream of it then you get to do it!
