Who is Crosbie Wells and what drew you to the role?
Crosbie Wells is a really fun character to play. He is a mass of contradictions. He longs to find his place in the world and has always wanted to meet his father. He has an enormous heart and there is this child-like innocence to him. He is someone that you can feel very safe with, but in an instant, be very scared of. He is very sensitive but can be ferocious.

Crosbie is also a tragic character who doesn’t realise he’s a tragic character. He doesn’t realise that all these machinations are happening around him and that makes him really fun to play. He has no idea that he's sitting in a scene that has a lot of stakes. Although the subject matter is quite dark there is a lightness to Crosbie. There’s an innocence to him that is really really beautiful.

Tell us more about the relationship between Crosbie and Lydia...
Crosbie and Lydia got together on a bet. He drunkenly came into her establishment and bet on the spinning wheel and Lydia had put herself forward as the prize. He placed his first ever bet and he won her as his wife, which plays into a lot of the themes of the story of chance and fate. He’s absolutely in awe and in love with her but he doesn’t entirely trust her. He’s fallen under her spell (which is very easy to play when you have someone extraordinary like Eva Green playing the role) and it’s a very interesting dynamic that has been a lot of fun.

What is the relationship between Crosbie and Anna?
In Anna, Crosbie sees a kindred spirit. He sees someone who is equally a lost soul looking for their place in the world but who also is a survivor.
