Turner Being Human
He appeared as vampire Mitchell in BBC Three’s television series Being Human. Because of his ancient age, Mitchell, an elderly vampire, possesses greater strength than younger vampires. He is able to lift Kemp, defeat Vampire Seth, and use Vampire Daisy to carry out mass slaughter. Even though Mitchell is resistant to traditional types of injury, he reacts to pain like a typical human would. He can hear and smell better than humans, and he is always on the lookout for werewolves and ghosts.
Eating from a living victim aids in Mitchell’s recovery, and draining a living victim assisted in his recovery from a nearly deadly stake wound. Mitchell’s skill as a killer has earned him the reputation of a legendary vampire. In a duel with the expert fighter and vampire hunter Thomas McNair, he prevailed. Mitchell’s special talent stems from his long-term, modest exposure to Denise that has given him a tiny resilience to the Taint. Compared to other vampires, he is able to exert more self-control while being harmed by this exposure. Because of his skills, Mitchell is a very dangerous opponent in the vampire community.
Desperate Romantics
He appeared as Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the six-part television drama serial Desperate Romantics. During the early 1900s, a group of women known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood lived in England. Their romantic relationships, which were frequently shown in their artwork, had a significant impact on their lives. A group of women known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood lived in a world where people valued relationships above all else.
The trio was well-known for their complicated love affairs, which were frequently portrayed in their artwork. Although the show was dubbed “Entourage with easels,” Moyle insisted that it was a deeply emotional drama akin to The Forsyte Saga. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was also promoted by the BBC as “marrying the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to the values of Desperate Housewives.” The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood’s life have been dramatized on television before, such in Dante’s Inferno and The Love School. This series is not the first to do so.
Poldark
He plays Kíli in the film trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. The youngest of the thirteen Dwarves that embarked with Thorin Oakenshield’s company, along with Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins, to retake the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug were brothers named Fíli and Kíli.
The two most active Dwarves in Thorin’s company were Fíli and Kíli. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, they feature more frequently as “individual” characters than the other Dwarves, who are mostly mentioned primarily in group contexts, with the possible exception of Balin and Bombur. Fíli and Kíli both played violins and donned blue hoods while traveling. Nephews of Thorin, Frerin, Thráin II, and Thrór, Fíli and Kíli were Dwarves.
Being the youngest, they had keen vision and were frequently sent to scout or search. In the Misty Mountains, they located the Front Porch. The Elvenking Thranduil imprisoned them once they came across spiders. They crossed the river to Lake-town and made their getaway with Bilbo. They located the side-door and Front Gate while scouting Ravenhill. Following their honorable deaths at the Battle of Five Armies, both brothers were buried.
Presumably for foraging and to help construct firepits, barricades, and traps, they each carried a shovel. Although Kíli isn’t mentioned carrying a bow in the literature, some readers assume he was proficient with one.
