What do you do to relax?
If not working, I like to go for a walk with my wife Kristina, then head home and prepare a little lunch, before watching a movie on TV with our feet up.

What’s your favourite film?
Lawrence of Arabia.

What career path would you have taken had you not been an actor?
Probably a doctor. I’m such a hypochondriac that it would be wonderful to cure myself and diagnose everything that might be wrong.

Who inspired you?
My mother and father.

If you could have one wish – what would it be?
I wish my mother and father were still here with me.

What’s your Star sign and are you a good representation of its meaning?
I’m Libra. If it means I’m easy-going, charming, modest, kind, good-natured, modest, a loving husband, good-looking, modest, a loving father and modest, then yes.

What’s your favourite possession?
Oh, probably my computer. I’m a silver surfer!

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Where I am now in Switzerland with my wife Kristina – we love it here and love being with one another, so what's better?

What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given?
You’re not very good, so smile a lot when you come on – from the director of a play I was doing in rep, in my early years as a struggling actor. Nowadays I just struggle to act.

Do you have any unresolved ambitions?
Yes. To be the oldest living person in the world.
