Favorite Semi-Fictional Characters 4/∞: Edmund Reid as portrayed by Matthew Macfadyen (Ripper Street)
You’ve seen Hampton. The promenade, the parasols, the polite conversation amidst the teacups. There is nothing of it that breathes. There is nothing of it that is alive and quick and stinking and bright. Whitechapel is life in all its wild and rotten splendor. Beside it, the rest of the world seems a tomb.

“The work you take seriously, and what’s required of you, but I always find that creative sets... are the ones where there’s a lot of play happening. And if I can find ways to make people giggle or do little pranks it relieves any sort of tension and it bursts the bubble of people living in their own heads. [...] We had an ongoing gag that in fact maybe this whole time Margaret’s actually kind of evil genius mastermind, and she’s set out to completely emasculate Mr. Wilcox, so by the end he’s a giant baby, and he can’t string a sentence together anymore. We imagined him sat in his bedroom just in a giant diaper. On the last day of filming, I planted a diaper inside Matthew Macfadyen’s costume, and then a training potty in his bathroom, and I put a pacifier in his pocket. [He also] was given a cup of tea in a sippy cup with a bib [during lunch break]. It was very naughty.” - Hayley Atwell
“Hayley and I would laugh, she had a gag that she actually infantilized Henry and turned him into a great big baby. That she sort of kept him chained up at Howards End forever, like a sort of baby man.” - Matthew Macfadyen
“Matthew [Macfadyen] is so good in [Howards End]. He’s such an intelligent and sensitive actor, and so funny. This is my third time working with him, so that was great. That only helped. We trusted each other, knew how the other works, and were able to have fun doing it.” - Hayley Atwell
“This is the third time [working with Hayley], I think. As actors, often you make great friendships and then you disappear and don’t see each other for years. So especially for this production, it was lovely to have that relationship already, so we hit the ground running, really.” - Matthew Macfadyen
