Richard Coyle interview


John Strange is a former priest, dismissed from the clergy under mysterious circumstances. During our first encounter with Strange we discover that he was implicated in a number of gruesome murders in the area. Murders that he proclaims are the work of demons...

Housed by the Bishop in the Cathedral grounds, Strange has undertaken to seek out those responsible and clear his name. This mission puts him into direct conflict with Canon Black, who seems intent on denying any acknowledgement of dark forces in his diocese.

After the disappearance of the Demonica Diablo, a categorical listing of every demon that walks the earth, Strange has been forced to fall back on other sources for his research. Fortunately Jude, Kevin and Toby are on hand.

A quiet and earnest figure, Strange seems a bit cold to Jude at first, but a working relationship based on trust and a mutual understanding is soon forged.

Richard Coyle is famous for playing Jeff in the BBC2 sitcom Coupling. He played John Ridd in an ITV production of Lorne Doone and last year starred opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Proof at London's Donmar Warehouse.
