Began filming his scenes for Hancock , just two days after he completed filming on Happy-Go-Lucky .

I see all these people talking about acting as a great spiritual thing.
. . . British actors, we have a tradition, I think it comes from weekly rep,[repertory company], where we learn the lines and dodge the furniture.
And also we have a tradition where we serve the writing. So when we get,a script, our point of reference is the writing.
