Sometimes, the life of an actor can become a grind. Movies don't get made quickly, and shooting can sometimes involve months away from your friends and family, working for long days, miles from home. A chance to get some time to yourself can be tempting, and that temptation was enough to persuade Matthew Goode to take the part of Declan O'Callaghan in 'Leap Year.'
Goode has been very honest about what attracted him to the part. It was the salary on offer, and the agreement that he could spend all of his weekends at home. The script didn't come into it, and he didn't particularly care for it. He views his work on the film as 'a bad job,' but at the same time, says he had fun working on it, and enjoyed the lighter schedule. It wasn't all bad!
