00:03And action!
00:06Half-Man is about these two brothers
00:08and the way they're inextricably bound
00:11and drawn to one another.
00:13They have things that the other one doesn't have
00:15and struggle to communicate their love for one another.
00:18That's the heart of the show.
00:20Two men who weren't brave enough to say I love you.
00:22Your brother from another lover.
00:24They go on quite a journey
00:26and it tracks the relationship through the years.
00:30You see them at their greatest moments.
00:31You see them at their unhappiest moments.
00:33There is something like incredibly star-crossed
00:36about them as people.
00:38It was a character that I'd never played before.
00:41There was something that felt quite risky
00:43and quite dangerous about doing it.
00:45It captures all the high and the lows
00:47and the funny and sad moments that happen in between.
00:50I found that relationship really enticing.
00:53And oftentimes it is destructive.
00:57For all that we've been through,
00:59I still trust you more than anyone.
01:02You get ideas you sort of can't shake.
01:05And I kept thinking,
01:06wouldn't it be interesting to do a sort of exploration
01:08of masculinity
01:09and how difficult a lot of men find it to emote
01:12and express their feelings.
01:14You love me.
01:15What?
01:16Just answer the question.
01:17Of course I do.
01:18You're my...
01:19No.
01:19No caveats.
01:21Stick with the emotion.
01:24Relationships are complicated.
01:26Richard articulates those complications very well.
01:28You've wasted your whole life.
01:31Will you make Albion to blame for all your problems?
01:33Fight!
01:34Hopefully what the show can do
01:35is not point fingers directly at men.
01:38But people can go,
01:40I'm a bit like Niall
01:41and I'm also a bit like Reuben.
01:44I'm really proud of the fact
01:45that we went to those places.
01:46Those are great moments, for sure.
01:54You
