The second installment, The Silkworm, will have a total of two episodes, starting Sunday 10th September at 9pm. Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott are now investigating the missing writer, Owen Quine played by Jeremy Swift , who they later discover has been brutally murdered in one of the grand artist studio houses on Talgarth Road.
Writer Owen Quine leaves behind his struggling wife, Leonora Quine Monica Dolan , who is trying to care for their daughter, Orlando Quine, who was brain damaged at birth. Below is an exclusive interview with the wonderful Orlando Quine actress, Sarah Gordy, who is also a model, dancer and an Ambassador for the Mencap Charity. What was the audition process like for the role of Orlando Quine and did you get to meet J. I had time to chat about the character and her background. I like my characters to have a past.
I met J. We were all sitting around a big table doing the read-through. I was sitting next to Tom Burke, which was so exciting. When I met J. Were you familiar with the Cormoran Strike books before getting the part?
Were you ever a fan of the Harry Potter series? I have all the books, all the DVDs. I love the world J. What are your thoughts on the character of Orlando Quine, and what was the best part about playing her? Orlando was a bit damaged at birth so she can be very moody. But she is sweet and funny, and you just want to protect her.
I like to play somebody very different from myself. I am very independent. Orlando likes to draw, especially birds, so I have started to draw. All my scenes were at the same location, so I did a lot of scenes one after another. Very emotional. Wonderful and exhausting. I loved it. Tom Burke is lovely. I fit just right under his armpit, he is big, so gentle, really helpful and comfortable to be with. Holliday Grainger is so pretty, fun to be with and not a big head.
