BBC Happy Valley actor James Norton has described playing psychopath Tommy Lee Royce as "liberating", but the role has come with some fans who get very carried away when they see him. He has described moments when they have "screamed" and "grabbed" him because they think they have been confronted by an evil killer.
The Granchester and McMafia star was discussing how some fans of the show react when they see him in real life during a question and answer session at the BFI about the final series.
The role as the dangerous killer and rapist was the 37-year-old's breakthrough role, and he has returned for the final series after a seven-year gap. Fans of the show are delighted, but he has been speaking about times when he does get confused with his evil character, who is currently serving life in prison.
