Site Interview with Henry Ian Cusick
13 October 2005

This interview is © (copyright) 2005 BLS.

Q
When did you first realize that acting was what you were meant to do?

A.
Not sure about "meant"...
I was in my last year of school and I was going to do quantity surveying at Napier In Edinburgh....didn't even know what it was, but it was a degree course and my Mother was happy... one day, someone (an angel) came around asking if anyone was interested in joining the National Youth Theatre summer school in London. I was the only person in the whole school that said yes...did the worst audition ever recorded, but still managed to get in, as there were only three applicants from Scotland, one was a girl wearing a tutu carrying a huge hula hoop... and that was the start.
It was a life changing 3 weeks.
Came back to Scotland, lasted a month doing quantity surveying - which I think is counting how many bricks etc. you need to build whatever - and started doing amateur dramatics at the Strathclyde Theatre Group....then after many happy productions there, I auditioned and got a place at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music...but was asked to leave after a year and a half...then back to the STG. 3 frustrating years went by and then I got my first professional job as an ASM understudy at the Citizens theatre, playing a polar bear in the Christmas panto...A wonderful place to work, I was then offered bigger and better parts,.... and here I am!
Q
Can you tell us about one of more of the people who have influenced you the most as far as acting is concerned and how they have helped you in becoming the actor you are today?

A.
Susan Triesman...Strathclyde Theatre Group, an absolutely brilliant place and the reason I became an actor The directors at the Citizens, Giles Havergal, Philip Prowse and Robert David MacDonald...they taught, inspired and believed in me.
Q
Being part Scottish, do you own a kilt, do you ever wear it, and do you go "regimental" when you do?

A.
Don't have one.
Q
What question have you never been asked during interviews but wish you had been, and what would your response to that question be?

A.
This one...
