"Where I lived when I grew up, there was a fantastic actor called Andrew Schofield.
"He was in a TV series called Scully. It was actually about a young lad who wanted to play for Liverpool and he had these fantasies and daydreams about it. It was a comedy and it was written by Alan Bleasdale.
"Drew lived across the road from where my nana's house was, so I suppose seeing him as a kid made me realise that me being an actor was tangible, it was attainable.
"I could see that there was this man who was on TV and he was a brilliant actor, he was in great stuff like Boys from the Blackstuff and he was living nearby in my neighbourhood.
"That gave me the faith and the hope and belief that one day maybe I could be an actor. He was my hero as a kid."
