Burn Gorman

Burn: (on what makes him happy): My kid, and being with family. The cliches are all true! My son Max has just turned two, and he's literally turned into this driven young man overnight! The terrible twos are not a myth but he's such a laugh to be around.

Burn: (On Owen's death in the Torchwood episode Exit Wounds): I think it's a good way for him to go, because you've seen him shot once, so that's not going to have the same impact again. It's off-screen so it's not prescriptive and it leaves it your imagination. Maybe he got away in the end. He might be living in the sewers with the Weevils, full of radiation and intent on revenge. I like the way that it was done but I think he's definitely gone.

Burn: (on how he plays characters): I feel very lucky. I think of myself as a character actor, compared to a straight actor. I know a character actor in England is pretty much the same as in the States, you're actually hired to put on terrible teeth and stuff like that.
