“When I got the audition I was in a pub with my mate who is an American actor and he was like, you know how big that show is, right?  And I said no, I’ve never heard of it.  Now I realize obviously how big it is, just with the amount of people that are so excited for this to come out.  The fans are all around the world from Brazil to the UK, it’s absolutely mad!  I don’t know too many shows like that, really.  So it’s incredible to have that level or support.”
