Oh, that's great.

Hope he gets more chances to.

Speaking of more chances for James to work behind and in front of the camera: he wrote the screenplay for a film called "The Long Way Round" which he is going to direct as well as star in it. Here's more info:

Thanks for the update, Anne!

Great news for James and he's been quite busy, it seems.

Fabulous news.

Old but great article on James talking about AC/Jarvis:

Quote:

HC: The writers seem to a real ear for Peggy-Jarvis banter.

JD: Jarvis is perhaps not the world’s greatest action hero — Rambo, he’s not — and so Jarvis helps more in terms of pithy one-liners rather than fending off the bad guys. There is a bit of gun-toting fending off of bad guys but that’s what’s brilliant. There are big action sequences in the show — for a TV show, it’s huge — but they write these sequences… so funnily. There’s always a little joke in there at some point, so you’re engaged in the action sequences as much as you are in the more character bits — or the action sequences serve character as well as plot and all the rest of it. They’re very clever, the writers.

HC: Are there particular qualities Jarvis has that you admire?

JD: He does have a very good moral code, which I really like. I do think that there is now — and understandably because it’s a very successful area to mine for drama — this area of antiheroes, “Breaking Bad” being the real tip of that iceberg. But now there are so many antiheroes that I feel like if your character doesn’t have OCD and an alcoholic and have suicidal parents… it’s relentlessly bleak all the time. I really admire that this show is mining drama out of something that actually makes you feel good at the same time. I really love that about the show. I suppose I’m just trying to be faithful to that impetus.

I just picked out my favourite parts but the whole article is good. I think I've not posted it before.
