Nigel Bennett

Nigel Bennett: There's nothing special about playing bad guys. I think the potential for that kind of evil is within us all. I just have a vivid imagination, I guess. It is kind of freeing, though, when you've just done a take that was particularly nasty, and you look up and see the crew all looking at you like,'Oh God, I hope he was acting!'.

Nigel Bennett: I can't imagine doing anything else, I can't imagine not working in this business. It's given me all the things that I thought it would give me and a lot more. I have no complaints, when we're standing in the middle of the night exhausted and it's pouring with rain and someone's yelling, 'Don't light the rain!' even then, I feel privileged. It's a piece of cake compared to most work that people do.

Nigel Bennett: I think a lot of people go to drama school thinking they've going to learn how to act. I think that's a misconception. I don't think you can learn how to act. You can either act or you can't act, it's as simple as that. What you can learn is technique, and you can learn how to polish and improve your basic skill.
