Half Man, a new six-part miniseries from Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd premiering this Thursday (April 23), takes place across two timelines. The series follows the twisted and complex relationship of two “brothers” during their formative teen years and later in life. In it, Gadd portrays the violent, mentally chaotic Ruben Pallister in the present-day storyline, while Stuart Campbell portrays the younger version of the same; meanwhile, Jamie Bell portrays the much meeker Niall Kennedy, and Mitchell Robertson plays him in teen form.
Both timelines intersect throughout the episodes, but when it came to production, there was one set that came first. So which of these sets of actors got to establish their characters for the rest? Perhaps surprisingly, it was not the creator’s side that kicked things off, but rather the younger crew, working first but in collaboration with their elder counterparts.
