While most of us think of Brendan Cowell as an actor first and foremost, who has also written a few books and screenplays, he sees W himself quite differently. "I've always written," he explains to WHO.
"I started writing poems when I was 10 to make sense of the world and that's what I see writing as - it's something that you find yourself doing, not something that you want to break into.
"I work as a writer every day and then acting is like a dinner party you get invited to, 'Sure, I'll turn up! I'll bring a bottle, can't wait! I'll DJ! What do you want me to do?'
"Acting is not enough. Even when you're going well you never know when the next job is going to happen, so I work as a writer every day!"
For Cowell, 45, it's this ability in his life right now to be creative every day that makes him feel, as far as he's concerned, "I've made it. That's all I want."
