What can I see? A coffee machine and a lot of bottles of Coke. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re all for me\u2026 There\u2019s also a floral padded headboard, the bed has been removed and a conference table has been put in its place. None of this is normal or relatable. I sound like an entitled, lunatic actor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy watching at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve just finished season two of Slow Horses. Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden are great. I like getting lost in a story. When a drama grabs you, you\u2019re caught up in it, intrigued, bewitched \u2013 that\u2019s my favourite thing. I had it with Succession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who controls the remote in your household?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I control the remote because my wife Georgia doesn\u2019t want the hassle of it. Well, I mean, I hold the remote and press the buttons \u2013 but it might be fair to say that Georgia controls it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your first ever TV memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Doctor Who \u2013 watching Jon Pertwee turn into Tom Baker. It\u2019s weirdly specific, especially considering things that have happened in my life since. I remember thinking, \u201cThat man just turned into another man. That\u2019s wild.\u201d It\u2019s so utterly unpredictable the way things worked out [landing the lead in Doctor Who], it\u2019s so fantastically unlikely. The odds are so ludicrously small that if I think about it too much, it makes me feel vertiginous.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--aspect\"

2.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"im-image-caption\"> <i>Mark Mainz\/Prime Video<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>Your parents supported your acting ambitions but encouraged you to have a back-up plan, too. Why was that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You want your children to have a nice life. Acting is able to provide you with that, but it won\u2019t necessarily do so. There isn\u2019t security. My parents didn\u2019t know anyone who had been an actor. They were right to say, \u201cThis sounds like a precarious profession. You might want to have a back-up plan.\u201d I didn\u2019t listen to them. That\u2019s the thing about deciding to go into acting \u2013 you have to be pretty cavalier and single-minded. Otherwise, it will give up on you. You have to put up with a bit of potential brutalisation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you impart similar advice to your son Ty when he started acting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you see you child act for the first time you think, \u201cWhat if they\u2019re s**t? How will I cope? Do I tell them?\u201d Luckily, Ty\u2019s really good. He has a natural confidence and ability. That was, first of all, a huge relief and then a matter of great pride, if I\u2019m honest.<\/p>\n<p>I love watching him work. But it remains an unfair profession and just being good at it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019ll be able to do it for the rest of your life. I think he\u2019s got every chance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good Omens, in which you play a demon alongside Michael Sheen as an angel, received backlash for its representation of religion\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re right, there was a group that complained. It\u2019s not irreligious. It doesn\u2019t mock religion. It mocks some of the attitudes that religion vomits forth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your father was a minister. How did your upbringing influence your approach to the role?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My upbringing was specifically Church of Scotland Christian. My parents were Christians in the proper sense of the word. I don\u2019t want to get controversial here, but that was about values, kindness, tolerance, helping people out, going the extra mile to be charitable, community. That\u2019s the version of Christianity that I got from them.<\/p>\n<p>I may not call it Christianity any more, but I certainly think it\u2019s a way of living and it\u2019s something I\u2019m forever grateful to them for. That was their religion.<\/p>\n<p>I find it difficult to recognise some of the versions of religion that are more unforgiving, fundamentalist and unbending because that to me is not how I recognise the teachings of the Bible.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6332370878112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"\/><\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/><p><strong>Good Omens season 2 is available to stream now on Prime Video \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/video\/offers?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\" data-geniuslink=\"https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=114542&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fgp%2Fvideo%2Foffers%3Ftag%3Dradtim0b-21%26ascsubtag%3Dradiotimes-1869091&amp;dtb=1\">try Amazon Prime Video for free for 30 days<\/a>.
