A very Happy Birthday to Gareth! And he's given us a present of a new Q&A and some exciting work news.
Q&A - March 09
1. If you could be in the Guiness World Records for anything what would it be?
For having the most dogs, I love my dogs.
2. What has been your most memorable convention experience so far?
Sitting with a dog in my lap in an armchair at Polaris on Toronto, my first overseas convention. It farted. Or possibly when I had to go onstage handcuffed to a blow up sheep at the first Hub.
3. If you could change your name, what would it be?
Something more Welsh. What's Welsh? Dragon! I could be called Dragon something.
4. Do you eat spicy or hot food?
I love hot food. I love chilli, hot curries, I ate a lot of Mexican food in LA and San Diego. Jubaraj is good in Cardiff, if you like your curry, they have a couple of places there.
5. If you could pick up any character (from any other show, except Doctor Who) to work in Torchwood, who would you choose?
Omar from The Wire (said in awe)*. He's one of the coolest tv drama characters ever and I think he would fit in well.
*The Wire is starting on BBC2 this Monday late evening and every night after, showing all 60 episodes.
6. Would you be friends with Ianto, Gwen, Owen, Tosh or Jack in real life? Why?
Tosh probably, I think she's the least intense of the lot of them. She'd be the most laugh over a drink. Jack? He drinks water!
7. Do you like doing combat scenes? Would you like more?
I'd love to do loads more. I really enjoy doing them. It's what you do as a kid, isn't it, running round pretending to fight things or be at war. Really, it's the most fun you get to have, playing things as an actor.
8. How has your life changed since being on Torchwood?
I'm completely still me, but I'm much more confident, more relaxed. I'm more world-aware. It's enabled me to do a lot of things on my to-do-in-life list.
9. Your house is on fire: which 3 items do you save?
My girlfriend and my dogs. If the dogs count as one, then I'd also save my photos. Memories are important.
10. Do you have any solid Welsh insults you can share?
Well, I'm Welsh. And I say "bugger off" a lot. Will that do?
11. What are you doing today on your birthday?
I'm going to surround myself with people I like. And I'm going to go to my favourite pub and relax, because on Monday I'm recording a Torchwood audio book, a new one by Brian Minchin, it's my first. I'm looking forward to that. I'm also booked to do three more Torchwood radio dramas and an independent short film with some brilliant people.
