Is she choosing to be open in order to affect a change in him? Or is she being open because she needs to be? Or is she not being open - is she just being Machiavellian, pulling the strings again? We had a good play with that. And I think that's one of the things that makes that scene interesting.
He's doubting her motives and wondering what's behind what's she doing. Emotionally, morally, he is very intelligent and developed in a way that maybe the other characters aren't. From the moment I read the pilot script, I felt he's incredibly new to this world and has this sort of superficial naivety - but underneath that, he seems to have perspective.
One way he is intelligent that distinguishes him from the others is he feels like he's lived, to me. That question, What is he doing there? Why has he been selected? And I think he does have potential. What do you think the professor, Annalise, sees in Wes? Does she see potential in him, or is he just her secret keeper? I must be in the small, ever-dwindling minority on that one. He didn't know what mens rea was, which many people pointed out he might have known had he seen Legally Blonde. For everyone else, whether it was a forgone conclusion or not, it was a possibility for them. He didn't have an academic education whose logical conclusion was Middleton Law School. And that extends beyond what we see in that first episode, with him not having done the prep work. They've been high-achieving academically for a long time and they've gone to the best schools and, you know, it's an intimidating place and everyone is well prepared. He's less prepared, and less well-conditioned by his previous academic experiences - a lot of the other characters have a pedigree in a sense. He is definitely not as competitive in this academic sense as the rest of them, but I don't think that means he's what I would call less intelligent. I can't tell if he's super smart and just less competitive than the others - or if he's maybe not as smart as they are. So differently I can't form correct sentences right now. But she does miss it just because I express myself differently and I sound differently. She does, but I'm not sure she would agree with you on that, per se, because she's British as well, so there's no novelty factor for her. A lot of people haven't heard me talk differently.ĭoes your girlfriend miss it? The British accent is appealing to women. But everyone was very tolerant of that and this is essentially all I do now. I just thought to myself, Why wouldn't I practice all the time? I was talking to my girlfriend and she was like, "If you think it's going to help you, why would you not?" The only real reason that I could come up with was that it was just going to be awkward tomorrow morning when I come downstairs and I'm talking differently. I guess this explains why your accent on the show is so good. It was all a big stunt! When I was like 10, I decided it would look really cool, so I pretended I was British. At first I thought, "Have I been wrong this entire time? Is he not in fact British?" (That's how he catches her having the aforementioned affair.) Also, he may have murdered someone with four of his classmates.Ĭ spoke to Enoch about his character, Legally Blonde, and fellow Hogwarts graduate, Emma Watson. It was great.) So far, what we know about Wes is that he's a transfer student, he has no idea what mens rea means, and he thinks it's appropriate to just walk into his professor's house without an invite. (The pilot featured an affair, two murders, and a crazy goth neighbor. The series, about a group of law students and their brilliant but ruthless law professor (Viola Davis), is already completely nuts, and it only just premiered last week. "I'm hoping you'll forgive me - if I don't have to come out of it, I don't."
#ALFRED ENOCH HARRY POTTER INTERVIEW HOW TO#
He's dropped it, at least for the time being, since signing on to play law student Wes Gibbons in the new Shonda Rhimes-produced show, How to Get Away with Murder. When Harry Potter alum Alfred Enoch gets on the phone, he's without his British accent.
