The other love story in the court of King George and Queen Charlotte is the quiet, queer tale of Reynolds and Brimsley.

“I never thought I’d get in because I’ve never acted. One of the final rounds to get onto the course, we had to send in a tape, the choices were between being a small bird or a squirrel. I did the squirrel and I sometimes watch that video and think, ‘What on earth am I doing with my life?’” he recalls in his articulate, calm voice.

“The first few were absolutely s–t. If I were to look back on them, I would just go, ‘There’s a man staring into space and doing nothing. There’s nothing going on,’ but you do slowly work it out and it’s a confidence game of working out how and where to make bold, interesting choices,” he says of his auditioning process now.

Reynolds, the king’s secretary, is stern and upright, literally and figuratively. When he’s not tending to the needs of the king, he stands like a decorative lamppost in his Georgian fashion. But it’s when he’s behind closed doors with Brimsley, Queen Charlotte’s secretary played by Sam Clemmett, that the armor peels off during their poignant love affair.

Dennis grew up watching sitcoms such as the “Peep Show” and “The Simpsons,” which has added to his curiosity and desire to try and play all types of characters.
