(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Stephen Moyer has revealed he often dreams about forgetting his lines.

The 41-year-old burst onto the scene in 2008 playing vampire Bill Compton in hit American television series True Blood. Despite recent adulation, Stephen has been steadily working as an actor in films and television, mostly under the public radar, for the past 15 years.

The star has divulged that he often takes his work to sleep with him, in the form of the same reoccurring nightmare.

Im on a stage Ive been on before, with a bunch of actors Ive never seen before and theres a big audience there, he explained to the British edition of Marie Claire magazine. Theyre waiting for someone to speak and I realise its me, but the lines I know are from a completely different play. Its the classic actor dream.

When he isnt dreaming about work, Stephen continues to feel overwhelmed by the success he has enjoyed in his career so far. He admits he sometimes has to pinch himself in order to fully believe his good fortune.

Being famous feels like walking into a party you werent invited to, he confessed. Sometimes I stand in a place surrounded by people I grew up watching in films and I think, How did I get in? (C) Cover Media
