James D’Arcy

Born: August 24, 1975 in London, England, UK

I don’t have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force. I’m not really very ambitious. I’m more interested in enjoying my life and looking after my family than being hugely successful. There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don’t necessarily want to be like them. I’m too happy being myself.

[addressing the rumours of a Police Academy: Next Generation/Mahoney spin-off film] Definitely. It’s coming. People will look down at the idea, but they’re in the same business of making money too. The Police Academy (1984) films gave me so much opportunity, and I’ve got nothing but a good attitude towards them. I sure hope they do it. If the script’s right – I’m definitely in. You never know, I may direct.

“Dad never had time to relax. When we were young, he’d get us off to school before he’d go to work as a controller for a nine-hour day, come home, make dinner, make sure we got our homework done, then go right to sleep and do it all over again the next morning.” – Chad says of his father’s hectic work and family juggling act.

[on his Girls (2012) sex scene] That was my first sex scene and nude scene. I took that nudity waiver as a badge of honor. I took a picture of it, I sent it to my friends. I didn’t even really read it. That’s the embarrassing part. I was so excited to sign it: “I’ll show anything!”

[on Sex and the City (1998)] The show is celebrating what it’s like to be a woman. We do things people think about but don’t vocalize. It gives men and women permission to talk in a way that is healthy.
