He has to convey every single emotion in one scene and then do it again the next day. I remember reading the scripts, and the character Stefan that he plays is in pretty much every scene, and I remember thinking, ‘whoever is doing this job… it’s one of the hardest acting gigs I could possibly imagine’. He’s such a lovely guy and annoyingly talented as well. I love Gavin, more than I probably love myself. I thought she was amazing in that so rocking up and just getting to work with her every day was a real genuine treat. Like I was just saying before about people getting outside of their comfort zones and doing things a bit different, I think this is very much that for Rosa and she explodes in it. It’s different for her to do something like this. She was really, really good to work with. She’s incredibly switched on and a really intelligent, funny person. I had a lot of scenes with her and she she gave me some really great advice off-screen about the business and about different things in life. Honestly, Rosa’s a real talent and a real sweetheart. Rosa is well-known for her work in films like ‘Alita: Battle Angel’. You play the character of Hugo and a lot of your scenes are opposite Rosa Salazar who plays Katie, your bride-to-be. I’m a huge Marvel and Star Wars fan, I’ve loved Disney since I was a kid and continue to do so, so just to see their name on the top of contracts that you’re signing is a really big deal for me as a nerd. Getting the opportunity to work on something like this, at this particular time, it’s a proper pinch me moment. Now if you can get a job, get a job (laughs) because it’s really hard to get work. Then this golden age of TV came in and (then it was) you need to lead in a TV show. I’ve only been acting for eight years and I remember when I very first started, you had to get a lead in a film. With streaming, you never know if it’s going to get an audience. (It’s a) fantastic opportunity and just a real pleasure to be a part of it. This must be a big deal for you as an actor? Disney have done such a good job of branching out throughout the years and through international streaming, this is their most recent iteration.ĭisney+ recently announced that they have surpassed Netflix in terms of the number of subscribers they have and ‘Wedding Season’ is launching on Disney+ Day, which shows they have a lot of faith in the show. It keeps people on their toes and keeps it fresh. You should always be surprising people, whether you’re a streaming service, or an actor or a writer or whatever. Yeah, I didn’t expect that from Disney’, which is great. When I tell people about the show, and then say what it’s on, they’re like, ‘Oh, wow. ‘Wedding Season’ is a really good example of that. Disney has been around for how many years? They’ve existed for that long, because they’re constantly able to reinvent what it means to be a Disney show or a Disney film. Do you think that this will help broaden their appeal and pave the way for more British original series moving forward? ![]() Disney all along had been really supportive and given us some really positive feedback that rocketed us through the whole thing.ĭisney is known for being a family brand but this show is particularly aimed at the adult market. You can get a sense in the air if it’s working or not, and we got a real sense that it was working. I think within the first couple of weeks, we all knew that they would like it. But to (be able to say) you’re a part of the first ever Disney+ show that they did outside of America is is really good. ![]() It’s special enough just to be part of the Disney tree. ![]() That must be quite special to be a part of… This show is a really big deal for Disney+ because it’s the first UK original show. It’s the best of what we can do, which is that very specific style of humor and tonality that I think we get absolutely right. It’s so exciting to have something that is a quintessentially British show. It stands on its own, especially somewhere like Disney+. I remember when I was reading the script (thinking) I have no idea who’s betraying who and what’s going on here. Both these people get implicated in a murder investigation, go on the run and have to avoid various pitfalls along the way, trying to find out what happened and prove their innocence. It’s about two people who meet over a summer of weddings and it turns out one of them is actually getting married themselves and lives this kind of secretive duplicitous life. I always describe it as a kind of rom-com action thriller, which is already a cool mix of things. I think you’re completely right in that it stands by itself.
