Aneurin Barnard

I love doing my own stunts. I'd love to do a full-on period sword-fighting piece where I get to show off with fighting and horses - I'm up for it.

Would still love to do something with the 'Doctor Who' franchise at some point because I know they have a lot of fun.

I love changing my roles. I think the most important thing that I can do for myself is to keep changing the genres, the periods, the characters themselves.

Love every role to be new, and I always like to bring a freshness to every character I play, but that comes down to the script. So, it's important that it's a good script with good, truthful characters and truthful subjects.

I love film, but I feeling a bit needy about returning to the stage.

If I played Bond, my dad probably wouldn't know what to do with himself. He'd probably put his shoes on the wrong way for the rest of his life!

I was really bored in school because I couldn't do what I wanted to do, which was act. And then when I was 14, a local TV company came to the youth theater, and they were auditioning kids to be in this new TV series.

I think, as a generation of British actors, we're becoming a bit soft and too manipulated by the business.

I remember watching 'A Streetcar Named Desire' when I was quite young, I was about 12, or 13, and I watched it, thinking, 'Wow. That is pretty cool. I'd like to do something like that.'

Fame isn't happiness, but success and being respected in your craft is worth fighting for. You've got to work hard to be noticed.

I like being on a set where you can make decisions and everything is involved and are happy to work together to make the best work. For me, it's all about making the best work and creative people working together and all being respected and all having their opinions of what gives it the best quality is important.

I do my own stunts; that's something I'm very passionate about. I spent a lot of time on boats as a kid, so it's just nice to be able to put that into use in the job that I do.
