Bradley James Q&A at college
Unfortunately I didn’t get to ask any of the questions you lovelies suggested - there were a lot of folks with questions…
However here’s a few questions that did get answered: (I’m gonna paraphrase here, not quote, because god knows my memory isn’t that good)
💬How did you get into acting?
He was jealous of some kids in school getting to miss lessons to go to drama club, so he joined too so he could skip class. He also attended Drama Centre (a drama school) as a kid but didn’t realise what acting was until college, where he did an a-level in drama and was told about professional drama schools as an alternative to university.
💬How did you get to where you are today?
In drama school he was messing about in the foyer during a school play, which was when an agent spotted him and wanted him to audition for a role in an American film. He didn’t get the role, but did get an agent (the same woman) who encouraged him to finish drama school before she would get him some work.
💬What was your favourite role to play?
He said it was Damien because it was an interesting character.
💬What was your favourite project?
Merlin because he could have a laugh with his co-stars, unlike in Damien where it was very serious.
💬Did you have any training other than drama school?
No, aside from learning skills, such as horse riding, for specific roles. However in drama school his class was forced to learn ballet and singing alongside acting. He was terrible at both but it did teach him to adapt and do things outside his comfort zone.
💬Is it embarrassing watching your own acting?
Yes, and actors have to develop some ego to be able to be proud of their work without looking bigheaded.
💬Have you ever had any weird requests for your trailers?
No, except from asking the costume department to throw his costume on the floor if his character is generally untidy or rough.
💬Do you think the show would be better if merthur was canon?
