It is Musketeers week at the Galifrayan Gazette and the BBC Media Centre has a slew of interviews with the cast. Today we bring you two interviews who play the royalty of the show the king and queen. So first off we bring you the Ryan Gage who plays King Louis.
What attracted you to the
show in the first place?
Well I thought that the writing was very, very good. I loved the script. That was definitely what first attracted me. The character of Louis was the character I auditioned for as well and I thought he seemed like he would be great fun to be. I’ve never played somebody of such high status on television, but I have done it in theatre. He seemed like a character full of contradictions who was able to go from being emotional to being humorous to everything in between. I found that very appealing and challenging and exciting.
What sort of research did you have to do when you knew you were going to be playing King Louis?
