TOM RILEY NEWS

A new interview for Swedish press has been shared online here with another great photo of Tom and Gregg Chillin.  Again, as it is in Swedish, translation is tricky.

One of the interviews from the press day for the FOX Sweden launch has been uploaded to You Tube. Tom and Gregg Chillin chat about filming Da Vinci's Demons, favourite films, Tom reveals recent injuries on set and some tit-bits about Kill Your Friends. They both drink a lot of tea.

Da Vinci's Demons season 1 begins tonight on FOX Sweden.

When it came to actual filming, though, one of the biggest challenges for Riley was the early sequence in which he, with a sword, goes up against Capaldi's mighty spoon.

After the fantastic Doctor Who 'Robot of Sherwood' episode finished this evening, the BBC website uploaded a brilliant behind the scenes video, shared some great set photos from Caerphilly Castle, and posted a fact file for the episode.

Who do you play in this week’s episode and can you briefly describe your character?

I play a man who at least claims to be Robin, Earl of Locksley - someone that the Doctor is convinced never existed and is entirely fictional. He’s a man filled with passion and heart, and who finds pretty much anything and everything funny. Not least the Doctor himself.

What were you doing when you found out you’d been cast in Doctor Who?

So how come Da Vinci’s Demons star Tom Riley is playing the British legend in the show? In truth, we didn’t bother asking the actor that spoiler-ific question when EW jumped on the phone with him and episode-writer Mark Gatiss earlier this week.

A new interview with Tom and Mark Gatiss for HitFix has been shared online. Tom and Mark discuss creating the Robot of Sherwood episode, which will broadcast on BBC1 tomorrow night at 7.30pm. Read the whole interview on HitFix.

Tom, when you agreed to play the legendary Robin Hood, did you know if your character was trustworthy or not?

The official Da Vinci's Demons Facebook Page has shared a video of Tom, Gregg and Hera thanking the 500,000 fans for liking the page. Tom's challenge is to get 1 million likes by the end of the year.  

Huge congratulations to Tom, who has been nominated as best actor in the 2014 BAFTA Cymru awards, just announced.  Da Vinci's Demons has been nominated in 4 categories in total. The awards ceremony will be held on 26th October.
