Tonight, AMC’s Revolutionary War spy drama, Turn: Washington’s Spies is all new. Recently, Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm/The Thing in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot) opened up the difficulties of playing a spy.
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Turn: Washington’s Spies, titled “Sealed Fate,” reads:
“Abe makes a last-ditch effort to recruit a spy inside New York. Meanwhile, Ben must determine which of two deserters is a double agent.”
Recently, Abe actor Jamie Bell, opened up to Observer about the trouble with playing a character with so many secrets:
“It’s tricky. There’s a lot of lying and hiding that goes on with this guy. I remember doing a scene where my character was actually telling the truth and how much of a relief I felt doing that. It was such a weigh off and I knew why I was enjoying the scene so much.”
Another challenge was growing up in England and not knowing a lot about the history of that area in America:
“I mean I knew that nothing about this was black and white, but I was really surprised by just how all of this divided people within their own families. They were turning on each other. To me that’s fascinating and I think the show looks at that a lot. I also really didn’t understand the political methods of the day and this show brought that into focus for me. Another thing that surprised me was to realize just how aggressive the British really were and how truly close Washington was to losing the war. These are things that you just don’t really understand until you truly dig into what really happened and how it all unfolded.”
Be sure to tune into an all new episode of Turn: Washington’s Spies, tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on AMC.
