What's it like acting with the character who plays your son?
Just brilliant. It's always interesting to me to play things that I feel strongly about and I have a little boy who's two, but I also have a stepson who's seven, who's a similar kind of age to William's character, Joey. What's really nice is being able to incorporate those real moments into TV.
So often TV is about plot and unrealistic situations, especially with this, all about how demon kind has forced its way into our world. So what's really nice is to play scenes where I can absolutely imagine that that's what I've just been doing at home, talking about what cereal the kid wants, or why he doesn't want to wear those socks.
We just get this great real buzz to the piece which I really enjoy. I can't say it enough, the boy that's playing my kid is just - oh, yummy, in a word.
