The Grey's Anatomy star is back in Scotland filming the Primrose Railway Children in Glasgow and the Highlands.
"It all started with Trainspotting. There has to be a train involved somewhere in everything I do, it turns out," he jokes.
"I cut my teeth here as an actor doing Trainspotting and Small Faces and all those films back in the day, so it feels like coming home for me." He says: "There is so much that Scotland has to give. Back 30 years ago, big Hollywood studios would come for the weekend and film the mountains and leave again. But now more and more productions are coming to Scotland and setting up camp here.
The 90-minute CBBC special is an adaptation of Dame Jacqueline Wilson's popular children's novel - a modern-day retelling of Edith Nesbit classic, The Railway Children. He says: "It's about a family that goes through its challenges like every family has to at some point and there's some separation of the parents and it's about how do you heal that, how do you come back together again and how do you find a place to belong."
