Working crew made me realise that the actors are a very small part of a very big machine, with each part being vital to make the show work. It so important to remember that it's not about you, it's about the show, and working crew hammered that point home to me. Katie McGrath actorbigcrow share on social
I wear a lot of black, knitwear, skinny jeans and very high heels. My mum used to work for a fashion designer making knitwear, so she knits me lots of chunky scarves, hats and gloves, which I love. Katie McGrath blackchunkydesigner Change image and share on social
I grew up in a small town in Ireland and didn't know any actors. I never thought it was a viable job. It wasn't until I was on 'The Tudors' that I realised it was a possibility. Katie McGrath actorgrowireland Change image and share on social
It's not an understatement to say that I owe everything as an actor to 'Merlin.' It was pretty much my first job, and I didn't know what I was doing for many years on it. It wasn't until the third and fourth series - the fourth series especially - that I really found my feet with the character, and as an actress. Katie McGrath actoractresscharacter share on social

Without Merlin, there would be no Gandalf, so I see them as the same thing, one a continuation of the other. Katie McGrath continuationgandalfmerlin Change image and share on social
Maybe people don't see me as believable playing a person of today. I guess I'm just more realistic in a corset and funny hairstyles. Katie McGrath believablecorsetfunny Change image and share on social
No actor can play a villain if they don't sympathise with him or her - otherwise the character just becomes a two-dimensional caricature. Katie McGrath actorcaricaturecharacter Change image and share on social

My friend once sculpted me a bust of Admiral Ackbar from 'Star Wars.' He's my favourite character in the films after Han Solo. He's that goldfish-type alien in the white costume. 'It's a trap!' I'm a big geek. Katie McGrath ackbaradmiralalien share on social
