How in the world was he able to do so many roles in 2015? Poldark itself, took about 6 months to film.
ReplyDeleteBecause he is a comet! Young, full of energy and passion which comes across in everything he does.
ReplyDeleteso do it well
DeleteAidan puts every bit of "himself" into every role...... a "GREAT" young actor on a journey I hope never ends !!
ReplyDeleteThe emotional depth and breath he brings to all of his roles from Vampire to Captain Poldark he pulls you in at every turn and twist of his character and leaves you wanting more........
ReplyDeleteAs a Christie faan,I'm impatient to see what he'll do in the part of Lombard
ReplyDeleteSo, what did you think? I've watched it several times now and yesterday sat my 17 year old grandson down to watch it. His comment about Phillip Lombard - "He's really a jerk, isn't he?" I thought, "Got it in one, Sweetie!" It was a pleasure to watch that cold, calculating, narcissistic jerk unravel when he lost his gun, and started to realize he wasn't in control of his fate! Like a cornered animal! What a performance! The screenplay was pretty good, but I didn't like the way the women were written as quite passive, while the Marston, Armstrong & Blore characters were way over the top. Also, the servants were somewhat charicaturized. Lombard, MacArthur and Wargrave were all spot on, though. I thought Aidan, Sam Neill and Charles Dance were all just spectacular - perfectly balanced performances! Loved the backstory flashback sequences, too. All in all, I loved it & I think Dame Agatha would have been thrilled with this adaptation. Your thoughts? (Pam D. USA)
DeleteHave watched Poldark several times and each time it is better. He is such a fantastic young actor. He is mesmerizing - I hope he continues to have a wonderful career - he deserves it.
ReplyDeleteAbout the latest project: 'The man who killed Hitler and than the Bigfoot': brilliant casting: Sam Elliot as an older version of Aidan Turner! - Can't wait to see the result. . Kind regards, Cilia from the Netherlands

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Aiden Turner in Poldark! I hope the USA starts realizing his star value and put him in some great roles. He is truly a star. His chemistry with Demelza is absolutely beautiful. Love watching him..
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this series. I have watched all four seasons, beginning to end, several times and never tire of it. Aiden Turner is remarkable. An incredibly attractive man, excellent actor, and yes, great chemistry with Eleanor Tomlinson's Demelzea. Eleanor is a remarkable actress, as well. It would have expanded the Hugh Armitage/Demelzea connection if Ross and Demelzea had explored how Demelzea was vulnerable, hurting, and neglected by Ross' treatment of her. The Hugh character saw that opening and walked in. I also very much enjoyed the scenes where Josh Whitehouse/Hugh appeared.
