Q: How has been it taking this iconic character on and making it your own?

A: Just as you said, making it my own has been the real luxury of this part because it’s by no means a remake. You know, that’s what they were clear about from the beginning, from the get-go, that it was a reimagining. And the writers themselves were very open to me building this character with them and they set about building onto (it) in a way that’s interesting. You know, ladling him with kind of conflict and inner turmoil and a lot wrong in his life, it makes for kind of a more layered and gritty character.

So the building of this kind of iconic literary figure from our point of view, from my television point of view has been, as I said, a real luxury to be able to build that character with them in a way that’s very interesting and engaging.

Q: How much does the fedora help?

A: Bizarrely or not, it helps me a lot. That’s the kind of external influence that helps me a lot. You know, Emma Potter, the costume designer in Season 1 who created the character with me – or should I say very kindly allowed the two of us to create together – we really built that character literally from the boots up.

And there was a real specificity to the first season in that Mason was buying clothes off corpses. So the kind of free range of that was a lot of fun. And just as a kind of aid, having the fedora as a kind of an extra prop, really, always comes in incredibly handy.

Q: There’s an attitude that comes with the fedora.

A: Yeah, and you can’t help but kind of feel in that period when you’re in those clothes, certainly surrounded by 300 or 400 extras who are also similarly dressed. So it always lends itself.
