So what appealed to you about the role of Freya?
Sophia: Quite often, women in films — especially period films — are just the damsel in distress, and I liked the fact that Freya was very strong and even quite masculine. And also, being completely honest, I liked the fact that I was the only girl and I was going to be surrounded by lots of very good-looking men! And I'd wanted for a while to do a film that would require some physical work, so this was spot-on. Plus, when I read the script I genuinely wanted to know what happened next in the story, and that doesn't happen to me very often. So when it does, I try to get the job. It's a story I thought it would be cool to tell.

He plays lots of dark, deep, often weird character, but unlike other 'intense' young actors, he's got a great sense of humor and a terrific laugh.
