Starz has found their Da Vinci. Relatively unknown British actor Tom Riley has landed the plum titular role in the pay channel’s upcoming series, Da Vinci’s Demons, after an extensive search. Riley, with no American screen credits to speak of, has appeared in a few series across the pond including Monroe & Bedlam, as well as a role in British sequel St. Trinian’s II. He is, however, quite something to look at. I’m curious to see if the series will explore all the historical aspects of Da Vinci’s experiences, including the personal life about which many historians have extensively written and questioned.
This news can never be reblogged enough! A massive massive talent.
