‘The Wheel of Time’ is based on a novel series that, although I hadn’t read before being cast, I knew was perhaps the most popular fantasy series that had yet to be translated to the screen. Approaching the role was tricky at first, as there's a lot of information in the source material that is vital to know and understand, and as you say, it is a hugely vivid dense world—but I really enjoyed the discovery process. I am a huge fan of books that are very good at world building, and ‘The Wheel of Time’ is one of the biggest there is. Barthanes’ place in the world is so important to his portrayal, so it was really important to me that his relationships and personal history were completely real to me. His relationship to Moiraine is based almost solely on his childhood relationship to her, so those memories of their shared past I worked hard to create for myself. I was really moved by the character’s plight—how his station had changed from one of destitution, to being restored to a position of nobility, and also how desperate he is to rekindle the relationship with his aunt that he remembered from his youth. I found the challenge of clinging on to the warmth of the past, when the contemporary reality was quite different and cold, really potent for my imagination, as a springboard for what drove the character.
