Behind the Scenes of The Hack
Excerpt from the Press Pack interview with executive producer Patrick Spence:
David Tennant is world class at breathing life into invented characters. But he's also incredible at portraying real life people. He did it in Des and Litvinenko and now he's done it with Nick Davies. Marina Litvinenko will tell you that watching David Tennant was a strange experience. Because she felt she was watching her husband. He brought him to life so well. And I think David has done the same with Nick Davies. There are people who have worked closely with Nick who have said that David brought to life every part of Nick Davies on screen in a way that you fell as if the two just merge. Yet he's giving a performance. He's playing a role, but he's inhabited him. Nick himself will say he is very happy with David's portrayal of him. Without it being a mimic of him.
