NBC recently premiered its new summer series
Crossbones. Actor Richard Coyle, who plays opposite John Malkovich as the character Tom Lowe, recently talked to the media about his new starring role.
Coyle talked to SciFi Vision about what originally attracted him to the role. "It was a great script, and I immediately liked the pas de duex between Lowe and Blackbeard, which was fascinating, and obviously it's a series-long arc between these two characters.
"But in the pilot, the first episode that I read initially, it's very much like a boxing match, it was very – these two characters going toe-to-toe. I found that very interesting, the idea of an agent of the crown squaring up to an Osama Bin Laden-like terrorist, and the potential for where that would lead – it was intriguing."
