The coat probably took up the full hour-long coffee, the first time we sat down to talk about it.Strike is a British crime drama television programme based on the Cormoran Strike detective novels written by J. Although, we did talk a lot about his boots and how they’d end up being. I don’t think we went through anything else, in nearly as much detail. That was the first conversation I had with the designer. I was very adamant about having something that just fell from the shoulders in a very straight line. It’s also very hard now to get a coat off the peg that isn’t at the waist, in a slightly rakish way. I’d try on one coat and they’d go, “Well, this is the right waist, but it’s the wrong shape.” And then, we’d try on another one, and it would be something else. How much did the coat feel like a part of the character, and how many different coats did you have to try on before knowing that found the right coat?īURKE: We had to build it, eventually, because there were so many little things. One of my favorite crime drama characters is John Luther (played by Idris Elba on Luther) and he has a great coat, much like your character has a great coat. That was probably the biggest challenge, to remember that discernment rather than judgment. Ultimately, he’s a humanist, and more of a humanist than I am, I think.

A lot of people with various companies that were involved had to say, “Yes.” Then, there may have been a third one, after that. I did a load of stuff on video for them, but there was an awful lot of road work going on, so the sound was bad and I was called in to do it again, a few months later. The first audition that I had was actually, funnily enough, on Denmark Street, where Strike’s office is because that’s where the casting director’s office was. ![]() I bought one, there and then, and started reading that night. My agent rang me and said, “The first book is already on the way in the post, but the audition is in a couple of day’s time.” There wasn’t really a script yet, so I didn’t wait for the books to come in the post. As far as I knew, the whole of London was going up for it, which actually was the case. ![]() Strike? Did you have to go through an audition process for it?īURKE: Yes, I did. Oh, good! It was attractive to me, for so many reasons.Īfter getting to play a Musketeer on the BBC series The Musketeers, it seems like it would be hard to find a project to follow that, that would be that exciting, but this seems like a pretty cool project to then go do.
