I was cast in a film toward the end of high school. Even then, I wasn't sure.

I ask myself, 'What is the value of acting and the attention that actors get? And yet there are so many people in the world doing incredible things for mankind, and they don't get much attention.' I do question about that, but I don't think I would've been a great doctor. I think I would've been a good surgeon. That fascinated me.

I got into medicine at university, then deferred a year to see. Then I started acting and just never went back to university.
