Interviews

Brief behind the scenes video of Tom for the March 2011 InStyle photo shoot and interview. Original video can be found here. 

The March 2011 edition of InStyle Magazine which carries a brief interview with Tom, as well as the photoshoot promoted on the InStyle website, is now available to buy. Thank you to Lorna for the scan - a larger version has been uploaded to the galleries. 

Aspiring actor Tom Riley plays the disturbed Gavin Sorenson in this re-imagining of Bouquet of Barbed Wire. Gavin’s shocking introduction to the Manson family only scratches the surface of the sinister intentions he has planned… But, there is more to Gavin then meets the eye and a revelation shows a man with a tortured past.

An old interview with Tom from the 2006 Venice premiere of A Few Days In September can be listened to on the Art On Air website (an mp3 version is now in the galleries).

The Lost In Austen behind the scenes interview with Tom, where he discloses one of the discomforts of wearing period costume.

Tom Riley Three Year Acting Course (Class of 2005)

Big break? Stepping in at the last minute to replace one of the lead roles in The Woman Before at the Royal Court, whilst still in my third year, was the lucky break that meant casting directors and producers around London sat up and took notice.

This video interview with Tom and some of the cast, including the lovely Ger Ryan, for Fingal Community TV at the Dublin premiere, has appeared online.

There is a wonderfully insightful interview with Tom, Stephen Burke and Jade Yourell for IFTN.ie. Read the full interview on the IFTN website. 

So far so straightforward, but what was the experience like on the other side of the casting couch, that of our actors?

Q&A: Tom Riley on bono's bed and a very drunk best man

Describe Happy Ever Afters for us?

It's a screwball romantic comedy about two couples that marry for the wrong reasons and end up in the same hotel for their wedding reception. It's in the style of the 50s, with a very modern Irish sensibility.

The movie was filmed in Wicklow this year. How was it living here and working with a predominantly Irish cast and crew?
