Alex Lawther is a man of extremes. Or, to be way more accurate, he is an actor who has been juggling extremely different projects of late. Is it possible to image two more different shows than FX’s Alien: Earth - the mega-budget sci-fi horror intent on obliterating your nerves - and the BBC’s Leonard and Hungry Paul, the gentle comedy about a couple of two board-gaming nerds which brings new levels of cosiness to cosy viewing.
Such is the pleasure of being a working actor.
