A story of pain and sorrow, not intented for comfort or laughter...a story that remains untold, on of abuse and blood...telling of a shattered girl who learned to twist a heart of stone into one of warm gold. This is not a story for the faint of heart, nor the happy in spirit. But for those who are able to understand what it means to be hurt...to watch as a girl's spirit is shattered like glass upon concrete. Watch as she melts the young master's heart of ice, and watch as she helps him heal. She has no name, but his...is Señor Draco.
I'll find myself setting out to do a scene and it'll be a scene where I'm just having a chat with Merlin, and then one of the script editors will come down and say, "We've had a message from production: Bradley's going to do this scene with his top off."
I can understand that part of the show. It's something that is kind of inevitable in the role that I play in the show. It's not something where I go, "Oh great, a chance to get my top off," but at the same time, I'm not naive enough to think that it's not something that people look for in the show.
