Roach 'over the moon' about TV role
 |
| Ukweli Roach still can't believe he was cast in Eternal Law |
The rising star got his big break when he was cast as angelic lawyer Tom shortly after drama school but confessed he is still getting used to it.
He said: "Obviously, I feel like any young actor would feel at this point - I was over the moon when I got the part. It's a brilliant opportunity for me.
"To this day, it feels a bit surreal. I feel like I'm going to wake up and think it was a dream. It's brilliant. Nothing can prepare you for it."
Ukweli has picked up lots of tips from his co-stars, who include Orla Brady and Samuel West.
"More than anything, I've learnt by watching people, how they operate around the camera while doing a scene," he said. "Or sometimes when they're doing a scene, I just watch and see little things that might be useful to me."
Ukweli was previously in StreetDance 3D but said he thinks of himself as an actor rather than a dancer.
He said: "Dancing was always a hobby for me - acting was always what I wanted to do. I happened to fall into professional work with dancing first, I liked doing it and happened to be quite good at it. It's something that will always be fun to me, and I'd rather keep it that way."
:: Ukweli Roach stars in the final episode of Eternal Law on Thursday, February 9, on ITV1 at 9pm.
