Майкл Херст - я знал, что мне нужен новый саксонский герой, новый воин, тот, кто потенциально может противостоять викингам, и я узнала об этих епископах , воинах, которые были реальными людьми — Эдмунд был реальный человек. Они были предвестниками Тамплиеров. Они были очень умные, очень образованные, но они были воинами.
Так у меня был персонаж, но я не знал, кто будет играть его. Я работал с Джонни в “Тюдорах”, и его игра в “Корнях” - так что все получилось. На Джонни невозможно не смотреть. Если он на экране, нет никого другого на экране. Он фантастический.
We got our first glimpse of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ Bishop Heahmund at the end. What more can you tell us about him?
Michael Hirst - I knew that I needed a big new Saxon hero, a new warrior, someone who could potentially stand up to the vikings, and I found out about these warrior bishops who were real people — Heahmund was a real person. They were the precursors of the Knights Templar. They were very clever, very well-educated, but they were warriors, they would go into battle against spiritual opponents, like pagans.
So I had this character, but I didn’t know who would play him. I had a relationship with Jonny from “The Tudors,” and History had him in “Roots,” so it worked out. Jonny is just compulsively watchable. If he’s on screen, there’s nothing else on screen. He’s fantastic.
