You came back to Britain to do Randall and Hopkirk. Was that a fun experience?

Oh, it was delightful. I�m a huge fan of Charlie Higson and Paul Whitehouse, and The Fast Show is still one of my favourites.

I happened to be in London over that summer on a break from Buffy. We had just wrapped season three and I did a movie here. Then I was travelling, seeing friends and having some time in London and my agent there called up and said "Oh they�re remaking this old series". I had really liked the original so I was curious to see what Charlie and Paul would do with it.

When I met Charlie, he had an idea about this character that seemed to fit well for me, so, yeah, it was great fun to do. I was very pleased to work with them and on was a pretty quirky character as well. A seemingly suave, protective man who turns out to be a complete psycho and is killed by a double bed.
