OHMYGOSSIP — Harlan Coben says ‘Fool Me Once’ is Richard Armitage’s best work.
Richard has now starred in three adaptations of Coben’s books for Netflix and the author believes the latest series showcases his talents.
He told RadioTimes.com: “It’s become a thing now that this is the third time that Richard’s worked with us, it’s become kind of a fun thing, but we’re really conscious of it not being a device or for the sake of doing it.
“It only works if we can find a role for Richard that’s going to be… I don’t like when I watch a show and I see the same actor, and so I’m thinking of him in the other role. So if you thought as you’re watching him, ‘Oh that’s Adam Price from ‘The Stranger’, it wouldn’t work.
“But Richard’s such a terrific actor, and the roles he’s playing on these shows are so different, the three he’s now played on ‘Stay Close’, ‘The Stranger’ and now ‘Fool Me Once’. I think it works.
“This might be, even though it’s his smallest role in terms of screen time, it might be his best job. He’s really good. That last episode, without giving anything away, the scene in the park is just great.
“I was like, ‘Richard, you’re going somewhere on that.’ He’s such a hard-working actor, we’ve all become friends with him, but that’s sort of what we do.
“We want to make sure it’s not being cute, having him on in a cameo or whatever. The universe of our shows really loves Richard, he’s got a great fan following that loves him.”
The series stars Michelle Keegan as Maya Stern, a former military helicopter pilot who is struggling in the wake of her husband Joe’s death, with Richard playing the role of Joe.
