A last-minute call from his agent pleading for a final audition for the prequel to hit historical fantasy series Outlander marked a "sliding doors" moment for the young actor. Video via AAP.
00:00At the end of the day, it's creativity. You know, I mean, like I I'm not in this to be the best actor on the planet is I know I'm not.
00:06And I have no interest in being I have no interest in being sort of one of the great.
00:11I just do it because I like storytelling and I like I think there's two sides to the industry, right?
00:15There's people who want to go and be who want to study it.
00:19They want to be the athletes of the industry. They want to push acting as far as it can go.
00:25And I have a lot of respect for those people in the same way.
00:27I have respect for athletes in the same way I have people for sacrificing their lives and going and studying monkhood and religions and and whatever.
00:36You know, they're sacrificing life to go and pursue some sort of practice.
00:42And then there's the other side of the industry, which is that I sort of would categorize myself in,
00:48which is that we are entertainers and jesters in a way, still storytellers.
00:55storytellers. And we're just here to give people an hour a week of disconnect from whatever's going on in their life
01:02and to to watch the telly and be entertained.
01:07And that I feel is is where I find great purpose.
01:12And you don't need to be the greatest actor in the world to to entertain.
