NEW YORK, June 26 (UPI) -- Carry-On, Kingsman and Rocketman actor Taron Egerton says the character he plays in the new Apple TV+ drama Smoke is not a likable hero, but he was intriguing to play.
Spoilers ahead.
Inspired by the true-crime podcast Firebug, and created by best-selling novelist Dennis Lehane, the limited series premieres Friday.
It follows Egerton's Dave Gudsen, a Pacific Northwest arson investigator, aspiring writer and serial fire-starter.
"To a certain extent, you can't get into his head," Egerton, 35, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
