ReplyDeleteThat's good news, he's a very talented actor. And the story looks quite interesting for what I've read, I'll be following the news on this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he's got this role, will be fantastic to see him play a different character. I'm still holding out for him to do some theatre thou, that's where he really shines imo :D
ReplyDeleteArghhh. Never saw that you posted this here, too. So looking forward to this!!!
ReplyDeleteI know this is rather late, but are you going to see him in The Tempest? i have got tickets for August. I cannot pretend that I am not excited.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm going with another Merlin mate I met at Soccer Six last year. Not sure when we're going yet, probably in the summer once it's a bit warmer to sit outside, lol. I'm dead excited too, Tempest is one of my fav Shakespeare plays, I played Prospero at our college production :o
ReplyDeleteDid you - wow! I am just trying to read The Tempest. At least <I would like to understand what is going on. I can only manage it with an 'English' translation though.
ReplyDeleteYou know I really miss coming to your thread discussing Merlin.:( Ahhh the good old days. :D I quite like Once Upon A Time, but it is not Merlin...
