[these women] “On the day they reported being assaulted, there were hours of interviews, intimate examinations, more interviews, sample collection, intimate swabs, etc.,” Pope emphasized, adding, “These women went through the most horrifying process ever to finally be told that they don’t believe the crime happened. In essence, ‘We don’t believe you.'” That’s where the title of the series comes from.<\/p>\n \n \tMr. Mays had already worked with Mr. Pope in the past.

He comes from a journalist background, so it’s a huge character with all the challenges that are thrown at me, and at the same time, Jeff as a writer seems to bring out the best in me as an actor.”<\/p>\n \n \tMays continued to emphasize the difficulty of playing a convicted criminal like Worboys, calling the role “a challenge” and an “acting challenge.”<\/p>\n \n \t“Essentially, it’s about humanizing a character who is evil.

But what about the mental strain that comes with slipping into the role of a workboy? Mays told reporters, “I underestimated how difficult it would be.” “I have 26 years of experience as a professional actor, and I’m not going to lie. It was sacrificial at times. It was difficult to play it, it was unsettling, and it was very isolating in its nature.”<\/p>\n \n \tDirector Ford was asked about the show, which he described as a fair and balanced depiction of what happened to Worboys’ victims. “We just felt like this was the best way to tell the story,” she explained.<\/p>\n \n \t“Make no mistake, these women were treated very badly by the police…and we tell this story from their perspective,” she continued. “But I think what I was trying to say is that we don’t blame one individual, one police officer or police officer. This is not about one individual, this is about the entire system.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #ITV #Daniel #Mays #talks #cost #playing #black #taxi #rapist #screenwriter #Jeff #Pope #focuses #victim #predator<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ITV’s upcoming drama believe me Britain’s established and up-and-coming stars come together to tell harrowing British stories.
