Jamie Dornan Says The Tourist Is His Most Difficult Role Ever
Jamie Dornan says The Tourist is his most difficult role ever. Arriving to HBO Max on March 3, The Tourist focuses on a man (played by Dornan) who wakes up in an Australian hospital. With absolutely no memory of who he is or what he knows, Dornan’s protagonist has to piece together the previous few clues he has in order to discover his identity before his past catches up to him.

Shalom Brune-Franklin, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Alex Dimitriades also star.
The Tourist is a miniseries designed to keep the viewer guessing. Written by Harry Williams and Jack Williams, the story begins very differently for Dornan’s character than how it ends and, due to the nature of his memory loss, the protagonist is never quite sure who he should trust. Or even if it would be wise to trust anyone at all. But with no other way to find out about himself, Dornan’s unidentified man moves forward through six episodes that oscillate in genre and tone but always remember to keep Dornan at the center of the frame.
