Silk star Rupert Penry-Jones has declared that he could never become a lawyer in real life as he believes the profession to be "boring".
The actor, who plays barrister Clive Reader, said he had no qualms about the BBC series spicing up courtroom action to keep viewers entertained.
"I don't think it's totally realistic," he told journalists including Digital Spy. "I mean, when you sit in court and watch a case it's very different, God, if it was a TV show the way it really is we'd be asleep."
Asked if he would ever consider a career in law, the actor replied: "Not in a million years. You have to work far too hard. It takes a long time for the money to be good! The first ten, 20 years it's not very good. Hopefully acting is the right path for me."
