Which of the roles you’ve played do you think has been the most impactful?
Elementary taught me a lot because it was such a slick operation and Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller are both such great actors. The thing I loved was they were very responsive to what you do with the character – the producers and writers allowed you to have creative freedom. If you said, ‘Is it OK if I play it like this?’ they welcome you developing the character because they write it as you go along. Whereas with British TV everything’s written in advance. Hooten & The Lady was challenging – we got to travel all over the place and you’re stroking an elephant’s trunk (that’s not an innuendo!) and thinking, ‘I’m in Cambodia, this is absolutely mad’. If I was able to tell 10-year-old me she’d be in Cambodia filming…you dream of it then you get to do it!
