Titans
HBO Max debuted the new costume for Damaris Lewis’ Blackfire (aka Princess Komand’r) for Titans’ upcoming third season on the streaming service.
Doctor Who
John Bishop—upcoming companion to the 13th Doctor—said showrunner Chris Chibnall spoke to him about a role on the sci-fi series a while ago but the timing wasn’t right. He also had doubts he could pull off comedic acting.
“Not last Christmas, the year before that [2019]. And he had this idea and this character and he’d seen me in a few things, and I’m flattered that he said so, and he wants to know if I’d be interested in it. And the problem was, I was meant to be on tour. They were meant to be filming earlier on in the year around March, April time and I was meant to be on tour throughout big parts of it. So, although I fancied it, I had to say, ‘No.’”
…
“I didn’t want to do comedic acting. And the reason is, the thing that is really odd… I don’t think I am very good at it. Some people are brilliant at being comedy actors and if you’re a stand-up comedian I think there’s a perception that, if your acting at something that’s meant to be funny, it’ll be funny all the way though and you’ll be dropping in gags.”
“I want to do straight acting or dramatic acting so do a hit show when you get chased by aliens,” Bishop said while laughing. “So I’d definitely like to do more. It’s literally playing out. Its daft!”
