![]() Is there a real danger of Jamie losing his land? Would Tryon truly take it back? Can he?Ībsolutely anything is possible, and that’s the danger. He looks after himself, he looks after his own, and will probably give lip service to a lot of people that are either under him or work for him. You don’t know where or what a character like that will necessarily do. When you then put that into public life, it’s incredibly potent and incredibly dangerous. They would’ve known that, and they would’ve had a huge sense of us and them, and just not caring about anything else. If you weren’t a part of that, then chances are you were poor or indentured in some way. He is coming from money, being in a time where there was a very much of a social elite. He’s had enormous ramifications for the sculpting of a new country and what happened to England after that. And that’s quite exciting and not to be taken lightly. The actions he did were real, and they have real consequences in the real world. Because it really planted his feet somewhere. Has that been a boon to you in terms of research and perspective? Governor Tryon is one of the few real historical characters we interact with at length in the series. But it is enormous fun being given that chance to play someone so Machiavellian and twisted and power-hungry. But they’ve been incredibly gracious and they’ve been incredibly open and welcoming into their fandom. Being English, being a Redcoat, being slightly threatening to Jamie, I mean, all of these things will pretty much have you thrown under a bus. And actually the fans have been incredibly generous considering, for all intents and purposes, I am the devil incarnate. How do you feel about that? Relish it? Fear the hate a little?
