It sounds like Colin has a meaty role, even if it will only last a season.

[rocknvaughn]

Yes, but I think Colin may prefer it that way? I mean, he gets to have the experience of being on a series without the worry about being tied into a long term contract. I think he's ALL SET with that because he's got too many other things he wants to do!

Man, if his Leo gets even half the storyline that character does in the Swedish counterpart, he's going to have a lot of great scenes!

[archaeologist_d]

Yes, I think he really likes doing a lot of different things. Even though his role in Merlin was somewhat the same through the series, he got to do drama and comedy and stunts, etc.

Sounds like an awesome role for him.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

I know! He just keeps getting these plum roles. I'm really happy for him. He's really branching out and doing all KINDS of work and showing his versatility.

adds to the squeeing!

OMG If he gets to kiss Gemma Chang (something Katie has already done!) then I might just die.
I've found the 1st season online and have started watching - looks really great! - I hope they don't make too many changes

[rocknvaughn]

Well, we'll have to see. I'm very excited that it's going to be shown here in the States. I love how he just keeps taking all these DIFFERENT kinds of roles. There's certainly no pidgeon-holing him, is there?

[issy5209]

Definitely no pigeon-holing him (and everything is NOT MERLIN character-wise)

I've just seen the first episode of the Swedish one (the second was shown on TV here not long ago, but was on very late) and its very good.

Got a link where it can be watched? I've been looking but had no luck finding it with English subtitles...

[rocknvaughn]

I know! And such a DIFFERENT project! Man, talk about breaking the mould! I can't wait to hear reports about his performance in Testament of Youth also!

Are you going to try to go to the Australian premiere of Testament of Youth next month, or do you not live near where that is?

And I always wanted to watch Real Humans but it always kind of...was on when I wasn't. Meh.

But yay! Work! Work we'll get to see and take home on a shiny silvery disc! And watch again and again!

I'm so happy that he gets so much work and that he gets to do so many different things :)

[rocknvaughn]

I'm beginning to think that there isn't ANY role that Colin couldn't convincingly play. I mean I am having a hard time actually picturing him in this, but I'm sure he will end up wowing us like he always does.

[bunnysworld]

I just want to get my fingers on this! NOW!
