Daniel: (describing Tripping Over) A bunch of people in their mid-20s, in the time post-growing up and pre-mortgage and kids, making mistakes on a global scale. Then you've got their parents, who are pretty much paying for the mistakes that they made at the same time in their lives.
Daniel: (on Tripping Over) Before reading the scripts, I cringed. I thought, 'I can't play an ex-soap star who goes to London to be a proper actor 'cos dammit, I am an ex-soap star who's gone to London to be a proper actor.' Luckily I think that's where most of the similarity ends.
Daniel: (on his character, Ned, in Tripping Over) Ned is taken out of his comfort zone from the very first episode where he says goodbye to a period of his life that had defined who he was. Suddenly, when that safety net of his identity through his job is taken away and he ends up in London - one of the greatest and thriving cities in the world but also one of the loneliest - he suddenly realises all the things that made him who he was don't exist, everything is turned upside down ... but he emerges at the other side of that [experience] a much stronger person.
Daniel: (on his Tripping Over character, Ned) I certainly have a good understanding of what he goes through and where he cane from.
