In terms of diet, when I'm home, I start the day with a cup of coffee, Weetabix, toast and some fruit. If I'm at the house for lunch, I might choose an omelette with green salad.
I'd spent the whole summer working in Manchester filming Citizen Khan and then went straight into the last couple of weeks of my wife's pregnancy.
I'm a qualified yacht skipper, so I do a lot of sailing.
In the Caribbean the temperature never changes, the sun just goes down.
Try backpacking in Indonesia and taking boats between the islands, or catching a bus from Marrakech to Essaouira in the middle of the night, with an eight-foot board. It's just impossible!
As brilliant as those dark Scandi noir dramas are, not everything has to be shot down a Danish alleyway.
If you've got 30 people standing in a very small room with about 10 lights in 40 degree heat and 98% humidity, there's no air and it starts to drive you a bit mad!
I'm actually really bad at puzzles.
I really admire people who have the integrity and dignity to hold out for the best work, even if that means you're not going to work for six months. But I don't have that.
I'm quite a deadbeat person. I like to mooch around and go on walks and laze.
I always hoped I'd end up playing a lot cooler roles. I do end up playing quite a lot of idiot savants, and I've actually started to revel in that slightly.
I like playing characters who are really, really quite uncomfortable with life, uncomfortable in their own skin.
I spent about eight months of my year on 'Death in Paradise', so it doesn't leave a massive amount of time to do other stuff.
I like to do everything, if I can. There's a lot of roles which I would have loved to have taken that went to other people.
You have an ideal of masculinity to live up to, and then there's everything else on top. You have to be a perfect husband. You have to be in shape. Apart from alcohol and exercise, there are very few outlets for men.
I enjoy talking with my male friends, but a lot of them are not actors. If I'm talking to my peers, I wouldn't give out information that would be perceived as a sign of weakness.
To be home for story time is brilliant. Even if after 14 hours of filming you're exhausted and just want to fall into bed.
Not everything has to be 'The Bridge' or 'The Wire'. Those shows are brilliant. But you have to invest your cerebellum in them.
So I've never made a conscious decision to cajole people into thinking I'm not that slacker guy from 'My Family' anymore.
I used to worry about it quite a bit but now, not at all. I've got a roof over my head. I've got a little boy. Those are the main things.
