“I've always loved theatre because it's so immediate. The challenge of it is that, career wise, it's easier to get traction in the industry if you do film and TV because the audience is larger, and because the work can be seen for a longer period of time.

Ultimately, there's something intimate about TV, because the storytelling and the actors come home with the viewer.
