Luckily, because we’ve been doing it for so long together we have a kind of shorthand with each other. That’s why I love to come back to theatre because of the rehearsal process which you never get in tele or film nowadays. In 2013, Anton began portraying the lead character Chief Superintendent Bright in the detective drama “Endeavour”, while the following year saw him appear in the episode “The Mysteries of the Rosary” of the period drama “Father Brown”, and the episode “The Homecoming” of the period action drama “The Musketeers”.

X DAMIAN: Well, I’m sorry but what I wanted to say was that you have that same sort of gravitas to command a scene. A person and actually when you stop, and usually it happens to us because of suffering or because life kicks us in the teeth or somebody dies or somebody you love leaves you, there are moments of absolute vulnerability and you get in touch with something real about what you are and maybe the actors that we like and we’ve been talking about have these mysterious qualities when they’re doing that to some degree.

And of course Brando, when he was not messing about, I don’t know whether that’s to do with, obviously it’s influenced by, but I don’t know if it’s necessarily only to do with how they studied at the Actor’s Studio but something about them instinctively as human beings. DAMIAN: I mentioned Brando earlier, and we now know from various books and documentaries that he never prepared prior to filming during his later career – didn’t even bother to learn his lines – and yet, when he paused, took a moment or gave a certain look as he did in The Godfather or Apocalypse Now – it’s pure magic and electrifying to watch.
