You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do.

I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there’s not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there’s a drama going on and you have something to do.

At home in Victoria, we have three dogs, Tosh and Lucy, they’re half Blue Heelers, and then there’s Torrin a little Maltese terrier. She gets more attention in the house than anyone else! Yes, I miss them a lot.

I put the costume on and said ‘It’s not very comfortable, but it looks amazing,’ so it’s all good.

You have the massive world that was created by Marvel, and then you have these very intimate actors around you. There was as much character work on this as there would be on a little independent film. So, I felt very fortunate in that sense.

Not often do you approach a character where people know more about him than you do.

Well, I’ll keep on auditioning and one day maybe I’ll go to LA and try out for films there.

I have seen ‘Thor’, yeah. It’s fantastic. Being that close to something, it’s often pretty hard to watch yourself, but the film in so many ways is so impressive that I was swept along with it like an audience member, and that’s a pretty good sign.

As a kid, you run around the house pretending to be a superhero, and now to be doing it as a job, I feel very lucky.

I entered the work force cleaning breast pumps at a pharmacy! It was a part-time gig while I was at school… no interview required.

I have sporadic OCD cleaning moments around the house. But then I get lazy and I’m cured. It’s a very inconsistent personality trait.
