Adrien Brody opens up about why playing Luca Changretta in Peaky Blinders was a dream come true. Premiering in 2013,Peaky Blinders centers on the gang named in the title of the series.

Blending fact with fiction, as it is loosely based on an urban youth gang of the same name, Peaky Blinders has garnered widespread praise.

Notable actors of both the big and the small screen, from Anya Taylor-Joy to Aidan Gillen and Tom Hardy, have joined the series in prominent recurring roles. Brody, who portrayed Luca in Peaky Blinders season 4, even had the role specifically written with him in mind.
