The star was speaking to The Huffington Post ahead of the second season release of 'Fleabag', which Phoebe Waller-Bridge created and starred in, and said the most important element of the casting process is the chemistry between actors.
He said: "It's not remotely difficult for me to have chemistry with Phoebe Waller-Bridge and that goes for a lot of women I've played opposite. It's ludicrous and almost insulting to say otherwise. The most important thing is that you have a real chemistry with the person you're playing opposite."
The actor, who is gay, acknowledged a disparity in terms of who is hired for certain roles, and said it's vital that actors play roles outside their immediate experience.
He continued: "There hasn't been a particularly level playing field with regards to who gets to play what. I can only speak for myself, but I think it's very important that all of us are able to imagine acting is about being empathetic: what is it like to be in someone else's shoes?
"So, I think it's dangerous territory to go down sometimes, to think that we're only allowed to play our own- not just our own sexuality, but our own nationality or identity- that we're only allowed to… represent things that are within our experience."
Andrew added: "I think we have to look at every individual situation and make sure everyone gets the chance to play all the different parts. But I think going down the road of 'a person is that they have to play that,' is dangerous."
