Thanks to Kate!

About Ted Day

Alex talks about his role in the new BBC series Gold Digger:

"I also seem to have been on a bit of a roll playing various forms of sleazebags recently, and Ted was a fresh and new version of that, he is much more complicated than simply being a bad guy. There were moments in the writing that allowed me to understand the complexity of the pain this character was in. He has some serious anger issues but it wasn’t black and white in the scripts, so I felt there was something quite complex to explore within him, which was exciting."

The full interview is on the BBC website.

Thanks to Kate!
