Star: So
you're not like Hamilton then?
Ian:
I didn't go through the sexual confusion he had, no! But I am like him in that
he doesn't run with the main crowd, he's kind of an outsider; which is exactly
how I was at school.
Star: What have
you been up to since
Young Americans?
Ian:
I've just finished working on a movie,
Life As A House, with Hayden
Christensen [the new Anakin Skywalker in
Star Wars II]. It's a really heartfelt
'dramedy'. It won't be out in the UK for a while though.
Star: So would
you like to move away from TV and go into movies?
Ian:
I never really intended doing TV, but that's where a lot of amazing actors have
come from. I have friends who've been making movies for five years who don't
get noticed, and I did a show which was only on for eight weeks and I still get
stopped walking down the street. I guess I've been
very
lucky.
