NICHOLAS LEA

Two shows at once is crazy, but I love it.

So, I completely and utterly support David and Gillian's decision to go to Los Angeles, but I think that Vancouver is the perfect location for the show.

We both have a great loyalty to it, and I think that it's important to give it our best shot.

I'm trying to do the kind of projects that I want to see in the theatre.

When you're doing a series like this, you're constantly looking for new ways to excite your audience.

L.A. to me is not really an attractive place.

Comedy and drama are both challenging to me.

Everything has an end.

It's not that fun to just play a villain, without any reasoning behind it.

Certainly, when I walk into an audition, a lot of people already know who I am.

You can be in an acting class all you want, but you don't fully learn until you get off that stage and in front of a camera.

Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience.

When I'm on my deathbed, I'll hopefully be able to count more friends than parts that I had.

I would like to look back on my career and be proud of what I've done.

I don't care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it's all about time and money eventually.

We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books - pages and pages on it.

My goal is to be living back in Canada as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere in the Gulf Islands.

I'm living in L.A. but my heart's in Vancouver.

At Christmas, 'It's a Wonderful Life' makes me cry in exactly the same places every time, even though I know it's coming.

It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy.

I felt that K wasn't getting a fair shake anyway.

I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came.

It seems there's a sliding scale between the money they spend on a movie and its creativity.

My heritage is English, so I'm proud to be back here.

I think somebody who speaks the language is going to notice immediately that I'm not Russian.
