I like to think that I can run, but I remember once running up and down through different terrains while on set in Iceland, and I face planted.

With big productions, you can sometimes get lost with the terminology and all the different departments.

Mum and Dad paid me 50 pence, which was a lot of money when I was 8 years old, not to dye my hair.

Certainly part of being from a big family is that you have to shout to make yourself heard.

I taught myself to listen and kind of regurgitate what I was surrounded by, and it's been a wonderful tool to have as an actor.

The phenomenon that is 'Game Of Thrones' has propelled many actors associated with it into the minds of directors and producers, and it's a fabulous position to be in. It's because it's so adored and respected, of such high quality with such amazing cinematography.

I remember bossing my younger siblings around and making them put on shows and skits with me.

I definitely think it opened doors for me and what was so fantastic about 'Downton' being showed over in the States, was that it helped get me noticed.

When I left 'Downton Abbey,' it hadn't yet taken off and become the phenomenon that it is, to this day. That all happened after I left. But, it was fabulous to be a part of it and to be a part of the cast. We had an absolute ball!

If you're like me and love chatting about your latest box set addiction, then Sky Box Sets Club has everything you'll need to kick start conversations with friends on Twitter or in the office the next day.

I was very fortunate to have gone to drama school in London for three years, and that was classical training in the sense that a lot of it was dominated by stage work, so I would love to go back to stage.

I've been watching 'Luther' since the beginning. My family adore it, too, so it was like a passion project for me.
