British actor Rupert Friend, whom we all know from ‘Asteroid City’, ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’, and ‘Homeland’, got the chance to flex his dark side in the action thriller ‘Perdition’, set during World War II, by writer-director Henry Dunham (‘The Standoff at Sparrow Creek’).
For the cover of L’Officiel Italia’s Summertime Issue, Charlie GRAY c/o LGA MANAGEMENT photographed the jack-of-all-film-sets against the backdrop of New York.
Set in war-torn Belgium in December 1944, ‘Perdition’ follows the escape of a lone American soldier (Claflin), who miraculously survives a POW camp execution. While attempting to save himself and the precious cargo he salvaged from the camp, he is discovered by a ruthless Nazi SS officer on horseback (Friend) – who is obsessed with hunting him down.
Rupert Friend can be seen on Netflix at the moment in Wes Anderson’s short films ‘The Swan’ and ‘The Rat Catcher’, which are based the short stories of Roald Dahl. He also starred in Wes Anderson’s film ‘Asteroid City’.
He played a lead role in ‘Obi Wan Kenobi’ by Disney+ and LucasFilm at the side of Ewan McGregor. Plus, he can be seen as the lead of the Netflix series ‘Anatomy of a Scandal’ by David E. Kelley and S.J. Clarkson.
He is known to most for his part as Peter Quinn on Showtime’s ‘Homeland’ series – a role he played for five seasons and for which he was also nominated for an Emmy. His next appearance will be in ‘Companion’ for New Line.
