The only thing is we didn't have the supporting cast.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Cast is everything.
There is a certain security in having a great supporting cast.
Supporting actors are the support. You can't make a building without support. You can't buy dinner without support.
Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus.
We wanted a supporting cast that would appeal to Baby Boomers who grew up in the fifties.
'The Inbetweeners' would have been a success with a totally different cast because the scripts are good - so while we were fortunate enough to be cast in it, we feel we still have a lot to prove.
When I was cast as Gendry, I didn't have any of the physical attributes the part required. I was astounded that I got the role, to be honest.
We were worried about that actually. The cast was thinking that they'd lose their minds. But we didn't.
I know to win a championship, you're not going to do it alone. You're going to have to have a great supporting cast.
It would have been an interesting run if we hadn't gotten along! It was good casting, I suppose.
