Gracepoint - David Tennant Interview + New Promotional Photo

Share on Reddit

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’ve played this character in this story once. Why do it again?
David Tennant:
The fact I knew how good it was. I knew what an exciting story it was and a lot of the same people are involved so I knew it wasn’t going to be turned into something … less good.

For your performance, it’s a very rare opportunity to have a total do-over. Are there things about the way you played the character the first time that you look at and go, “Okay, I’m going to do it this way instead.”
Tennant:
I’m sure there will be a bit of that going on. I’m not going to encourage people to compare to original performance. But since I’m playing scenes in a different location with different people it’s going to be different; you just have to be open to where that goes. There is no precedent for this. It’s so familiar, yet completely new. It’s a very peculiar experience.

Your character’s name has changed, but your stubble is back. Were there discussions about your look for the Fox version?
Tennant
: I think there’s something about the character that has a certain unattended quality to him. His personal vanity is low on his list of priorities. So I think there’s something about being slightly unkempt that tells a story about that character that’s quite useful. So it’s a similar look. I also think there was also a notion that if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. I don’t think we’re trying to change anything about him that worked the first time.
