In front of an audience at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, the English stage and screen actor reflects on his path from a rough childhood to his star-making role in 'Croupier'; why he wasn't excited about the prospect of playing James Bond; what it was like playing different characters in the stage and screen versions of 'Closer'; why, since 'The Knick,' he has increasingly worked in TV; and more.

This episode is presented by Lasvit, a Bohemian design and artisan house that creates sublime artworks of glass that can be found all around the world; and the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
