REEVE CARNEY as DORIAN GRAY Penny Dreadful S01E06 "What Death Can Join Together"

To play multiple characters is a great gambit for an actor, and it flexes a muscle that I was curious about. But truly it is the themes that drew me; the dangers of demagoguery, demonization of others. Is mankind innately selfish, prejudiced, or is there something fundamentally good about being a human being? – Natalie Dormer on her character(s) in Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. (x)

    What a fine, little assistant you’ve found yourself. I              gather your search had to span continents to find                someone as cruel and as savage as you.

PENNY DREADFUL

The monster is not in my face, but in my soul. I once thought that, if I was like other men, I would be happy, and loved. The malignance has grown, you see…  from the outside in. And this shattered visage merely reflects the abomination that is my heart.
