Here's another vid of Allen with Matthew (and the other cast & director). Very light & fun interview.

That was good Lindsay,

fun watching them trying to work out those number sequences, it had me puzzled.

Yeah I can't figure it out. I suck at those things.

What made you interested in this film?

I just wanted to help tell the story of this incredible man—there are so many elements that really drew me to it, but I’d say that it was that I wanted to clear up the story of a man who was really something.

Since Downton Abbey and The Imitation Game are both period pieces, is there anything specific you do to get in the mindset of a certain time period?

That’s a good question—I think they’re very different in a way because Cairncross was an actual person, so I had a responsibility in my portrayal of this man. My approach to preparation was to read over the things that the actual man did—instead of like a character like Tom Branson, who’s just a character of the time period, so you can have a little more freedom. I suppose you create a world to be the character, but when you have a man like Cairncross, when you get in the mindset it’s very different because you have to take the time to look at the research that he did. I just always look at the readings of that time period anyway, just some facts about the history—just kind of going back and reading tales of people in those times.

Thanks for the article's Lindsay, on the fashion side of things, he does look very good in a tux since he's moved upstairs.

I could see why he felt uncomfortable at first, like Tom, but he looks like he belongs there now. And love those pictures too. xx

For sure, there's nothing bad about that, he looks good in a tux.
