![]() You dream of that, but for it to become real is very humbling. I used to dream of doing a movie with Johnny Depp and doing scenes with Ian McShane or Katie Holmes. Obviously, you become ambitious and you imagine ways in which you want to succeed. But I really appreciate every single second I have. I know that I am very fortunate to have done this and I know that I have got to work hard to carry on, keep this going and keep the momentum pushing forward. "It is important to say this and I really mean it - I am so humbled by it, genuinely. But in my experience, it has been the complete opposite."ĭid you imagine when you left Hollyoaks that you would be working alongside actors like Katie Holmes and Johnny Depp? Sometimes even people you read about in the press, you expect them to be a bit difficult or stuff like that. "They are all really cool and I am so appreciative. For me, I am watching that and all these people around me and literally just taking mental notes as I go along to try and take the better aspects of all of them. Liev really, really cares about what he does. "It is the same in Ray Donovan - Ian McShane who plays my dad and Liev Schreiber who plays Ray Donovan are both phenomenal. Watching some of them is like watching true geniuses. They are really nice people and I wish to emulate both the way they have grown as humans through their lives and what they have done in their craft. Especially from people like Johnny Depp who does improvisation and stuff like that, and Ewan McGregor who is just the softest soul you can ever imagine. "As an 'up and comer', I watch them and try to learn as much as I can from them. Truly, they are just lovely, lovely human beings. Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow - I promise you, they are the nicest, kindest souls that I have had the pleasure of encountering. "This is the crazy thing - I have had the fortune to work with people who are on top of their game within the medium of television and film. You also worked alongside some big names like Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor and Gwyneth Paltrow in the film Mortdecai. She is lovely to me and I have enjoyed every moment of working with her. She is very sweet, very focused on her work and is very inclusive of everyone on set. What has it been like to work alongside Katie Holmes? Paige does everything she can in a business sense to try and get ahead, and she goes to these extremes." They both go to extremes to try and claim a stake in the family's fortune and both in very extreme ways. "Both Paige and Casey are vying for their father's business and wealth in a way. He is vying for the attention of his father and he goes to such extremes, human extremes, to try and get his attention." It is the kind of trouble that only entitled people can possibly have. He has problems and has probably been in and out of rehab for most of his life. We are all dysfunctional in our different ways." ![]() We are a wealthy family, relatively entitled and incredibly dysfunctional. ![]() Ian McShane plays my on-screen dad and he has two kids - my character, Casey, and Katie Holmes's character, Paige. "I am part of a new family brought in for the third season. ![]() How does your character fit into the series? I have been in America for five years and it has been a lot of hard work." You have to take action and I had to take the leap. ![]() "When I left Hollyoaks, I didn't have the opportunities I wanted in the UK even though I would have liked to have stuck around. I truly enjoy every single second that I am on set with everyone there and doing the work. It has possibly been the best working experience I've ever had. How has your role in Ray Donovan been going? ![]()
