Frank Dillane won Best Actor at Cannes in Un Certain Regard for his work in Urchin, Harris Dickinson’s directorial debut.
In the following interview, I deep dive with Dillane:
How he developed the character for the audition (and one massive mistake he made the night before)
How he evolved the character after getting cast
How he worked with the director on set
Dillane’s performance is spectacular. And if you don’t recognize his name, you’ve likely seen him before in:
AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead
A young Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
ITV’s recent series Joan, in which he co-starred with Sophie Turner
Urchin is a must-watch for any actor.
