[on Babylon (2014)] It felt like we were almost making a documentary. There’s a lot of ultra realistic camera-work. I think the tone is underscored by comic elements – some of the characters are very funny – but it’s true to life because as dramatic as the situations are, comedy seeps out thanks to the relationships between all the officers. But we all played it for real, not for laughs.

Several years ago, I began losing my hair, and like a lot of men, it was a major concern to me, in fact it was practically an obsession. But, also I’m an actor, so I’m in the public eye a lot and I really felt that my hair loss could affect my career prospects.
