“After university, I taught in a sixth-form college in York for a year and a half…” — Ralph Ineson

When I am stressed I pluck my beard, leaving bald patches.

Once I won the roles in 'Spender' and 'First Knight' it was much easier for everyone, me included, to get their heads around the idea of me being an actor.

Let's face it I have never been a pretty boy and so it's not as if I am going to lose my looks.

Because of the way I look, I tend to play bad guys.
