TOM RILEY NEWS

BAFTA has uploaded a video from last night, showing Tom presenting the Special, Visual & Graphic Effects award at the 2014 BAFTA Television Craft Awards. An unexpected pleasure for Tom, was presenting the winner's award to the Real SFX team, who are also behind the Da Vinci's Demons VFX!

A new interview with Tom, talking in depth about playing a character on the autistic spectrum, has been shared online. Read the interview in full here. 

One of the principle components of the autistic spectrum is the struggle with socialising appropriately. Was this something that was on your mind when playing Leonardo, interacting with other characters?

The new season also has da Vinci coming to terms with the effects of his "blind" quest to find the Book of Leaves. "He begins to realise what he's doing is not just having an effect on other people but him as well," Riley said. "He's not the invincible man he thought he was."

Riley will soon film a guest role for the upcoming series of Doctor Who, opposite new Time Lord Peter Capaldi. "He's such a fantastic actor. I think he's going to really shape up The Doctor," he said.

AX: You and the other DA VINCI’S DEMONS people have to talk to a lot of journalists in the course of promoting the series. Does having to talk about the work so much affect the work in any way?

Another video of a NYCC roundtable interview, recorded in October last year, has been uploaded to You Tube by Televixen. David S. Goyer and Tom discuss season 2 of Da Vinci's Demons.

A new interview with Tom for the Independent has been shared online, along with a gorgeous new photo. Read it in full on the website.

A new interview along with 2 photos by Justin van Vliet has been shared by Glass Magazine. Snippets are below, read the full interview on the website.

What credentials do you think every good actor should have?

Unmissable show?

I loved Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's Inside No 9. The way that they constrained each episode to a single location, then tasked themselves with including completely new characters every week, within a single half-hour. It could have been a disaster, but that economy of time and place meant it was just inventive and creative, entertaining… I loved it.

Earliest TV memory?

A brilliant 25 minute interview with Tom and David S. Goyer has been uploaded to You Tube. Tom and David are very funny together, and give some amazing insights into the show.
