Get to know Frank Dillane, the FTWD star who manages to look simultaneously unbathed and adorable.
He’s an accent stickler
Dillane, who is British, told EW that nailing American dialect was his biggest fear about playing Nick on FTWD.
He DGAF that his ‘FTWD’ wardrobe sucks
It’s all in the name of art.
He’s well studied on drug addiction
To accurately portray Nick, he readConfessions of an English Opium-Eater and studied a friend who is a former addict.
He’s a dead ringer for Edward Scissorhands
Not that we’re on the remake train, but Dillane seriously needs to be in an Edward Scissorhands revival.
Or maybe Captain Jack Sparrow
Pretty sure he’s saying, “But why is the rum gone?” here.
He’s evil personified
Dillane was Tom Riddle — the teenage Lord Voldemort — in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
His father is Stannis Baratheon
Dillane’s father, Stephen Dillane, played the Game of Thrones king.
He was in his first film with his dad
Dillane was just 6 years old when he was in Welcome to Sarajevo, which also starred Woody Harrelson and Marisa Tomei.
He’s a talented musician
In addition to acting, Dillane is also in a band called Tinker Wright. Check them out in action here.
His theater education was no joke
Dillane attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He told The New York Times it was “boot camp in tights.”
He’s never seen ‘The Walking Dead’
“I never watched it actually, but — sure, I’m a Walking Dead fan, why not?” he said when asked if he’s into FTWD‘s sister show.
