I’ve always worked in film, starting out as a television news and current affairs journalist. When you're young you think you can change the world, but sandwiched between TV commercials and situation comedy it’s not so easy. I always loved acting and make believe so I decided to switch. You can still move people a little, make them laugh and cry and maybe change things as well… Nevan Rowe, on shifting from reporting to acting, in the press kit for Sleeping Dogs
