"Hero obviously held Joe in such high esteem, and he was nervous. I think he really wanted Joe's approval, and that fed into Sherlock really wanting his father's approval. As the dynamic between Sherlock and Silas changes over the course of the season, so did the dynamic between Joe and Hero. The more time they worked together, the more you could feel Hero come into his own in front of his uncle."
"I sneaked out of drama school to do a tiny appearance in the back of a scene with my brother Ralph on 'A Dangerous Man' about T.E. Lawrence. But Fiennes had never worked with a relative on a really meaty project of this scale, with great exchanges and scenes, until he was cast opposite his older sister Martha's son in Young Sherlock."
Hero Fiennes Tiffin leads the new Prime Video series "Young Sherlock," executive produced by Guy Ritchie, which reimagines the detective's origin story. Throughout the eight-episode first season, young Sherlock uncovers an international conspiracy connected to his father Silas, played by Fiennes Tiffin's maternal uncle Joseph Fiennes. This family casting proved beneficial to the production, as showrunner Matthew Parkhill noted that Hero's desire for his uncle's approval authentically translated into Sherlock's character arc seeking his father's validation. The dynamic between the actors evolved naturally as they worked together, with Hero gaining confidence. While Fiennes has collaborated with multiple siblings throughout his career, this marks his first substantial project with a family member featuring meaningful scenes and exchanges.
