Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Sam: (On a Doctor Who (2005) role) I wouldn't like to be Doctor Who himself, But I'd like to be a baddie. The new Master perhaps?
-
Sam: (On laughing on the set of Robin Hood) In the gang who makes me laugh the most?, erm, we all make each other laugh quite a lot, We laugh quite a lot at Gordon (Little John) sometimes, but erm no, everyone has to take their turns in having the micky taken out of them, it keeps you going.
-
Sam: (On injuring stuntmen in series two of Robin Hood) I've actually been injuring stuntmen more than myself this series, i threw a cabbage into a stuntman called Lotsy's face in the first week of filming, which was a terrible accident, and now every time i work with Lotsy and there's a cabbage nearby he starts to edge away from me.
-
Sam: (On acting with his father) I would love to so do something with my dad, not necessarily a father son type thing but maybe a Hal/Falstaff or Hamlet/Claudius.
-
Sam: (On the TV show Hex) It is a great thing to do because it is a really confident show and knows exactly what it is. It gives you license to really go for it. And playing fallen angels and devils is much more fun than playing policeman and doctors.
-
Sam: (On family questions) People will often ask, "Are you David's son? Is Patrick your grandfather?" Now it's "Does your brother play for Warwickshire?"
-
Sam: (On his son Finlay playing cricket) Finlay's quite tall so we'll make sure he is a fast bowler, Hopefully he'll be playing for England. If not there's always acting!
