Modelling wasn't a passion of mine, so that made it get old kind of quickly. I was getting very frustrated.

The hardest part when I decided to move into acting was trusting I'd made the right decision.

I saw a documentary on the Naadam festival that happens in Mongolia during the summer. One of the features of it is a horse race across the plains that all the young men enter - some as young as 12 years old. It's such a spectacular sight. It's incredible to think that this is a tradition that has been going on for centuries.

I think every credit you get and every film you have your name attached to makes things a little bit easier. It definitely opens doors up, but it's still a grind.

I think the first role I ever played was Mr. Bumble in a production of 'Oliver.'

New York's definitely got my heart.
