Jamie Dornan: 'Comedy is often found in the darkest of places'
Jamie Dornan in The Tourist on BBC.
When Jamie Dornan first started acting and moved to LA, he only wanted to do comedy. Of course, life took a different path, and the Northern Irish star, 39, ended up playing “a psychopath” for three years (Paul Spector in hit BBC Two series, ). But his latest role is a tense thriller which is also surprisingly funny.
New BBC series — written by Harry and Jack Williams (known for , and ) — is set in the Australian outback, and starts dramatically. We see Dornan’s character — known as The Man — driving along when he realises he’s being pursued. In the end, his car tumbles off a ridge, and he wakes up injured in hospital, and with absolutely no idea who he is.
