and his approach to playing a near-immortal character.I was sent a single episode of the script. I thought,"This is a really interesting world, but I've done fantasy." And I've also played some nefarious, manipulative untrustworthy characters and I didn't think I wanted to do any more in case people start to see me in that light. And also, this character isn't really [the show's central focus in the first script].
I read the trilogy in preparation and found myself doing the thing I do when I'm reading a script that I really love — I was already reading it aloud to myself because I could tell it's going to be a juicy bit of dialogue. Then I started making a list of [my character's] dialogue that was in the books that was sort of cinematic but also highlighted certain themes within the story.
That was one of the lures for me. I hadn't really played any characters who were the most powerful person in the room. My friends mock me for the first 10 years of my career that I was sort of generic"boy with sword" trying to win the damsel and kill the monster but didn't really have any identity of his own. That's one of the reasons I'm so drawn to these stories about identity and who we are and where we belong and how we fit in.
The stillness was partly a choice — along with his grace of movement. The straight-back thing was partly due to the fact that I had these metal buckles straight up my costume. It was like wearing one of those back supports that go around your shoulders and if you slump and it reminds you not to. So that was quite useful.
