I'm not advertising it; I think it’s important when you’re an actor. But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person. All I really want to do is continue doing my job, which is pretending to be a bunch of different people. It's as simple as that. » In 2014, he took on the role of a priest in Ken Loach's film: Jimmy's Hall.
