Any plans to work with Jean Reno again in the future? Maybe as someone Liam Neeson can face off against...?

Samuel: I'm a huge fan of the History Boys, just a great show. Any great memories from the film version and are you still in touch with your fellow classmates?

Elijah: How did you manage to stay so grounded in the industry after starting at such an early age?

Here's my question:

Libertarianism is often viewed on the right of the political spectrum, though I've know left-leaning people with libertarian views on certain issues. As such, there's this weird dynamic where you'll see people who are demanding that the government stay out of their lives and let them do what they want; at the same time that they call for constitutional amendments to block same-sex marriage, call for the continued war on drugs, and want to restrict a woman's right to choose.

So, to the casual observer of politics, libertarians come across a bit hypocritical when represented by these members of the right who see 'government bad when' but 'government good if' scenarios.

So, two questions:

Firstly, can a person actually identify as a libertarian if they believe the government should protect them (or 'the culture') from the LGBT community, abortion doctors, and drug cartels?

Secondly, does the government have a role to play in those issues? If they do, how is it not the sort of interventionist action that libertarians are against?

I have to admit, going into Hannibal not knowing anything about the series prior, I was quite surprised to see you in the cast! (That's not a bad thing, btw.)

Is there any pressure on you, as the man with the comedy background, to provide some levity behind the scenes or during breaks? And if you're not the funniest person on set, who is?

Seriously, how hard is it to tie a bow-tie? I've never tried...

Also, I've noticed a passing similarity in looks between you and Reza Aslan; do you moonlight on weekends or something?
