I never wanted to be an actor as a kid. I wanted to play hockey, like
every other kid in Canada. I had a pretty good shot at it until I was
15 and badly injured myself. Then, I was lined up to do this honors
degree course in biology, of all things, for no better reason than I
got high marks in it. I decided I didn't want to be removing worms'
hearts for the rest of my life in Northern Ontario. I thought I would
try acting. So, I went to England to study drama. I got Shakespeared
out. I was sick of "thee" and "thou." You spend so much time talking
like that you develop a lisp.
