What's Happening?
Leo Suter, known for his roles in 'Vikings: Valhalla' and 'Victoria,' stars in the new TV series 'Lynley,' based on Elizabeth George's novels. The series, which premiered on BritBox, features Suter as DI Tommy Lynley alongside Sofia Barclay as DS Barbara Havers. Filmed in Ireland, the production presented unique challenges, including a scene where Suter got stuck in knee-deep mud, losing his Chelsea boots. Despite his experience with action scenes, the natural elements proved to be a significant test during filming.
Why It's Important?
The challenges faced by Suter during the filming of 'Lynley' highlight the unpredictable nature of on-location shoots, which can add authenticity but also complexity to productions. The series' debut on BritBox expands its reach to U.S. audiences, potentially increasing interest in British detective dramas. Suter's enthusiasm and resilience in overcoming filming obstacles may enhance his reputation as a dedicated actor, contributing to the show's appeal and success.
