Philip Glenister

Philip: (on saying goodbye to Gene Hunt): It's been great and it's been fun, but I need new challenges now. I want to move on.

Philip: (On his character Rupert Galvin in the upcoming series, Demons): He's a tricky one. He works in codes. He's a bit of a wordsmith - a bit of a riddler. We don't know much about his background. We find out about his relationship with Luke's father and that's about much as you're told. I seem to specialise in playing enigmas, which is quite fun in a way. People that can form their own opinions about them.

Philip: If I was 10 years younger, or didn't have children, I might have liked to go to Hollywood, but it's never been a burning desire and I can't be arsed now to start at the bottom of the pile. I'm too old and cynical to go cap-in-hand.
