00:00You said on Tuesday on Virgin Radio that one of the most nerve-wracking things going on to a set
00:06would be not knowing who the cast is and knowing if they're going to get along.
00:09Yeah.
00:09So why do you think you got along so well with this cast?
00:14I just think it was a kind of lightning in a bottle thing.
00:17Sometimes you don't get it in with this idea of just getting a group of people together who just had
00:22the best intentions of making a really great show and making it fun for each other.
00:27It's pretty dark material so we had to make sure we had a lot of fun in between takes of
00:32what we were doing on set.
00:33So everyone was just the best people that worked with him.
00:37What attracted you to the role?
00:39I think the role of Jimmy is just really complex.
00:43I hadn't seen a kind of gangster with a heart, I think.
00:47Maybe I'm biased but I think he's got a moral code in an immoral world and I found that really
00:53fascinating.
00:53Also there's nothing really done about the Westies before so I just thought I want to be part of that
00:57world.
