Thomas Howes Quotes

• There are a lot of dream roles that I couldn’t do, like James Bond and Indiana Jones; I’d never get a look in there, but actually, Doctor Who is probably the only one that I could because he’s quite quirky, and the fact that he regenerates he can actually be anyone. So one day, who knows, I might have a chance. I’d love to play that part.

• I actually did an Agatha Christie monologue for my audition showcase at Guildhall, and that’s how I got my agent. Some people said ‘ooh it’s old hat’ and ‘too risky’.
