"After playing the haunted, drug-addicted Nick Clark in four seasons of the zombie TV spin-off Fear the Walking Dead, Dillane, now 34, fled to Berlin for two years and turned his back on fame. A glance at some of the video interviews he did to promote the show is enough to explain why: he looks at best fidgety, at worst bored and resentful."
"I grew facial hair for the film but I shaved it all off. It spoilt the innocent effect I looked like a cartel boss Nick was a junkie, and my work on the show was all about understanding him, he says, toying with the three gold rings on his right hand. Then I'd be asked all these questions that trivialised what I'd done."
Dillane spent four seasons portraying Nick Clark, a haunted, drug-addicted character on Fear the Walking Dead, then withdrew to Berlin for two years to escape fame. Media appearances during the show frequently showed him fidgety and resentful, and production urged changes to his public behaviour and presentation. He resisted media training and image management, describing himself as stubborn. Dillane now accepts a leading role in Urchin, Harris Dickinson's directorial debut, portraying Mike, an unhoused Londoner cycling between pavement, prison and hostel. The film functions as a vehicle to demonstrate his range and sensitivity while avoiding bleakness.
