Merlin - Angel/Bradley #4: Because Angel kept messing up, and Bradley kept forgetting his lines - Page 2

What do you guys think of this so far? Any ideas on what to add or take out? Colors? Etc?

Angel Coulby was born on the 30th of August 1980. She grew up in the north of London, Finsbury Park, but once she had made her decision to pursue acting, moved to Edinburgh to attend the Queen Margaret University where she studied a degree in acting.

Shortly after graduation, she got her first role in the BBC sitcom ‘Orrible (written and starring Johnny Vaughan). Her characters name was Shiv Clark and she appeared in four episodes. Though the show was labelled a failure by many, Angel still went on to appear in several hit TV shows and films after this first appearance (amongst them Casualty, Imagine Me & You with her Merlin Co-Star Anthony Head and Hustle).

Before landing the role that would make her a star, she also managed to snag a small role in the 2006 Doctor Who episode The Girl In The Fireplace opposite David Tennant, Billie Piper, Noel Clark and Sophia Myles.

In 2008 Angel came to our screens for the first time as the future queen of Camelot in the BBC family hit show Merlin. Acting together with Bradley James, Colin Morgan, Katie McGrath, Richard Wilson and Anthony Stewart Head, she has been praised by many critiques for her portrayal of Guinevere, as it sets different light to a usually rather typecast character and the emotional depth and passion we can see when she plays Gwen have solidified her as a serious actress in England.

Bradley James is an actor from Devon, England. He made his television debut in the ITV series Lewis in 2008 and played a starring role in the TV series Merlin the same year.

Bradley made his first appearance in an episode of Lewis in 2008. He also played the part of Ben Davies in the BBC Three drama Dis/Connected.

He trained at Drama Centre, London. His breakthrough came when he was chosen to play Prince Arthur, a teenage boy who would become the legendary King Arthur, in the BBC One fantasy TV series Merlin. He appears alongside fellow young actor Colin Morgan who plays the title character Merlin. In an interview he stated that he had enjoyed being involved with the stunts but he had “picked up more than his fair share of injuries”.

Chellie - It looks great! I really like the colors and the design. Besides the earlier suggestions which you look to already be incorporating, maybe you could include some quotes from Angel and Bradley about each other and from TPTB about their work on the show eta - I think there was some comments mentioned in the previous thread about the director of 2x2praising Angel and Bradley on how well they played Arthur and Gwen's first kiss.

Chellie - . Surprisingly, I couldn't find many quotes that referenced Bradley and Angel together or even them talking about each other. There's tons of stuff with them interacting with each other and talking to each other, but hardly anything with them talking about each other and what its like to work together. Even when reviewing the Audio Commentaries and scenes of Arthur/Gwen come up, there's nothing said about how Angel/Bradley act together only comments about the overall scene (the look/concept etc) and maybe a comment about how well one or the other is doing in the scene. Anyway I hope you can use the quotes I did find:

"I think the way [Bradley & Angel] play these scenes together get better and better. You buy into their relationship and love. I think they have great onscreen chemistry." - Johnny Capps, Executive Producer Merlin - Queen of Hearts (3x10) Audio Commentary
