The first and biggest blog/site equivalent dedicated to the lovely actor and short film director Blake Ritson. All the material belongs to their original creators.
Blake being in the Monte Cristo series and not playing Edmond Dantes? We lost!
I agree he would have slayed it as Edmond, or Villefort for that matter, but I bet he'll bring lots of his own flair to Danglars, character. They've also said they'll explore the psychology of all the characters, so I think that sounds like they'll have a more complex take on the villains as well, especially in comparison to other adaptations.
Blake looked real snazzy at SAG, but does he also look overwhelmed by the photo call or is that just me? I guess I’ve grown used to the more kinetic DVD cast press tours from ten years ago and am constantly surprised he’s not as energetic on every outing.
Maybe so; I must say that I've always felt that red carpet type of situations are a bit strange, even just to look at (though it's fab to receive new pics). Fe. In the little video clips from the SAG's you can hear the photographers shouting at the actors crazy loud.
The DVD cast were super close, and they did so much promo together during those years, so I can imagine all the publicity feeling way more natural somehow. That's my own hunch about it. Gotta add that some of the TGA cast have also called Blake energetic and funny as a person, and someone's that's particularly fun to work with.
