"Oftentimes, you read these pilot scripts that come through for American work, and they dont sing to you. Ive got to be honest, not many of them ignite the flame or give you that burning feeling of, Oh, God, I really want to be a part of this."

Antony Starr Actor

But on the flip side of that, you end up in a very unfamiliar environment being treated in a way that's a little bit surreal."
