Screen Rant: I'm loving the show. I love your character. What sets The Tourist apart from anything that you've done before?
Jamie Dornan: Kind of everything, almost, because it's such a mash-up of so many different worlds and genres and tones. I've jumped into comedy a little bit in the last couple of years but never mixed it with quite intense drama, and that was what I felt was so fascinating about these scripts. It was like this merging of these worlds, and they hop. I don't even think it's seamless, but I mean that in a good way. It's like in a jarring way. They hop from something really extreme and dramatic to something really kooky and a bit off-kilter and funny, and I loved that. That was so refreshing to read that. I felt like it kept me, and would hopefully keep an audience, constantly guessing. I think, particularly, those first couple of episodes before the tone settles in, you're just going, «What is this? There's so many odd things happening.» It was exciting for me. Really, truly – this is the sort of thing you say about scripts when you're doing press, it's like, «Oh it's like nothing I've read before.» – But The Tourist was really like nothing I've ever read, or since. It's definitely its own kind of mad, unique world.
