Walsall fans. I wanted to be a good manager but I was really bad with drink and gambling at the time. I should have done better.

My children, because I spent the majority of their youth away from them as I’m the breadwinner and I had to pay the bills.

Myself. I didn’t know how to protect myself adequately when I was younger, and I think I would have experienced my youth differently if I had.

To a resistant materials teacher at secondary school called Mr Noel. He had a comb-over and whenever he turned his back to write on the blackboard, we would roll up bits of paper and launch them at his head. Once, I hit him. I remember him turning around and looking crestfallen.

I would have had a bit more belief in myself: I would have reached for America sooner.

I was a bailiff for half a morning. I couldn’t stand it.

I had no idea. When I was a week away from leaving school, a teacher said, “We’ve been talking in the staffroom and we all think you should be an actor.” I thought, “That’s exactly what I want.” The rest is history.

A warm knowing.

I’ve helped create a path for young black actors. When I go to swanky Hollywood dos, it’s great to see more and more young black British faces. I can remember a time when I was the only one there.

After my documentary aired. I suddenly had a bit of panic, because it’s very personal. I couldn’t watch it on the night, I was so scared. The next day people were walking up to me on the street and telling me their life story. It was extraordinary.
