No no no Moffat was ill on the day of the auditions and Gatiss ended up auditing everyone alone… which explains the high % of hot males in this show.“He’s one of the few people I know who can really convince you he’s mad, that he’s psychotic, even though he’s very attractive and looks inoffensive. He’s not a huge, terrifying figure, but there’s something terrible behind those eyes. There’s something dead in him… like something else is inside him.”
Mark GatissI love picturing this audition. Andrew Scott does his thing, leaves, Gatiss and Moffat nod, “Thank you for your time.”
As soon as he’s out the door they FLIP THEIR SHIT.
“Omg omg omg he was sooooooo creepy”
“EEK did you see his EYES it’s like he’s a DEMON CHILD”
“Let’s hire him”
“Yes let’s, but let’s never invite him to parties”
“Oh lord no”
