It's fantastic, are you kidding? To sort of be part of this project from the ground up, from the script form, and then for it to kind of do as well as it did in the States in the festivals, and come here; it's fantastic, it's wonderful.

The idea of developing something from the ground up and ultimately seeing it through to production and finish it as a film is a really exciting concept and, I imagine, very gratifying.

(The project) came to me. If it hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have done it. (The script) just hit me between the eyes.

I do think there was an active choice to do something small, as simple as it may sound, just so I didn't have to work on something for 16 months. The idea of two months, nice and contained, just about character, and no time in makeup was a thrill to me.

Lord of the Rings ... Bobby.

It was a wonderful project to work on, and a very different character for me.
