Question from Denise: How did you become so famous because I really want to become
an actress. I do go to a drama class, but how did you start?
John Altman: Acting at school, amateur dramatics and then I began at the very
bottom doing stage management and worked my way up!
Question from Saunder: How old were you when you first started acting?
John Altman: I was 15 and I played Professor Higgins in Pygmalion, also known as
My Fair Lady.
Question from Daniel: How did you get involved in Eastenders?
John Altman: Well, I was sent by my agent to audition, read the script and dressed
accordingly, with earring in of course!
Question from Karl: Are you anything like your character?
John Altman: Only when I confront traffic wardens!
Question from Maeve:Do you enjoy playing bad boy Nick Cotton or would you prefer a
calmer and gentler character like Barry?
John Altman: Barry? Who's Barry? I would like to play something calmer or gentler,
perhaps in another series or a film.
Question from Sophie Stephens: John, what was your favourite scene you played as
Nick Cotton?
John Altman: Favourite scene? The last one I did with Dot, when I was leaving. Oh,
and the one over the coffin when Ashley died.
Question from Willbow: How did you feel when you were chosen to play the part of
nasty Nick?
John Altman: I was very glad of the work but later I was a bit worried as he was
such an evil person but it hasn't been as bad as I feared.
Question from Shannon Adams: Have you ever had to do a scene that you didn't want
to do?
John Altman: No. If there's a problem, we can always change it.
Question from Craig: Out of all the different areas of your career, soaps, major
movies pantomimes etc which do/did you enjoy the most?
John Altman: I enjoy being on a film set the most. I've done quite a few. One
about the Beatles and a load of others.
Question from Olic007 SW: Which part of the Star Wars film were you a rebel
pilot?
John Altman: During the final battle. It's hardly worth watching.
Question from Katie: If you could be another character in Eastenders who would it
be and why?
John Altman: I've never wanted to be another character on Eastenders.
Question from Ed: Who was the best person to work with out of the cast of
Eastenders?
John Altman: Ooh. Difficult one. But I could name June Brown and Mark Carty. Dot
and Mark.
Question from Fiona: What part do you play in Chicago?
John Altman: Billy Flynn. He's a lawyer.
