Mackenzie Crook on Why He’s Happiest Behind the Camera

Mackenzie Crook

Mackenzie Crook is back...with tiny fortune-telling prophets in jars.

The creator of Detectorists returns with Small Prophets, a quietly magical comedy about a lonely man searching for answers about his missing girlfriend with the help of mystical homunculi.

We talk with Crook and co-star Pearce Quigley about the show’s tactile stop-motion animation, why it deliberately resists the slickness of modern TV, and Crook’s “romantic draw to loneliness.”

Crook also opens up about his relationship with acting, saying he’s “the happiest he’s ever been” behind the camera.
