Got interested in acting as a child when he saw other kids getting to leave their lessons to go to drama class and thought it was unfair they got to have fun and he didn't
Quote: "(On the success of "Merlin"): "I would say that the success of the show around the world has been very humbling․․․to be involved in something that does have that effect on so many different cultures is not something that you can easily achieve․""
Quote: "A lot of what we learn in life we learn subconsciously, and I think where I am as an actor and where I am as a person, really so much of that is the five years I've just spent - the very enjoyable five years I've spent doing 'Merlin․'"
Best known for his role as Arthur Pendragon in the TV series "Merlin․"
From a very young age, he knew he either wanted to be a professional footballer or an actor, and he still plays football to keep in shape
Has admitted to being a huge fan of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and of "Buffy" star Anthony Head, who plays his father Uther Pendragon in "Merlin․"
He and his "Merlin" co-star Colin Morgan explored Wales in a search for Arthurian legends, resulting in the documentary "The Real Merlin & Arthur" in 2009
