What has been the most unusual role of your career?
I think the most unusual I’ve ever done was I was in Los Angeles a couple of years ago and they were casting an episode of Star Trek and they wanted somebody to play Einstein and my agent said ‘You know they’d like to see you,’ and I said, ‘Well I’m totally wrong for Einstein because he had brown eyes and...’
Anyway I went in and read for the part and I got it and after five hours of make-up I was Albert Einstein and I got a chance to work with Stephen Hawking. So I played poker as Einstein with Stephen Hawking. Yes, that was the most unusual; it doesn’t get any crazier than that. That was great fun.
