Asa Butterfield, known for his role in 'Sex Education', is set to make his theatrical debut in 'Second Best', a play about a boy nearly cast as Harry Potter. Butterfield faces the challenge of performing live, a daunting task that brings him significant anxiety, especially considering his lack of theatre experience. Despite being an accomplished screen actor, he contemplates his nerves and tendency to overthink, highlighting both his excitement and fear about this new venture in his career.
"Theatre has always terrified Butterfield. Standing on stage in front of hundreds of people without being able to say, Cut! Can we try again? is sort of eurgh!"
"I'm going to have stomach-churning anxiety, undoubtedly. Is he someone who tends to ruminate on that sort of thing? Yes, he sighs instantly, with the knowing weariness of a chronic overthinker."
"Butterfield may have zero theatrical experience, but when it comes to screen acting he's probably the most seasoned 27-year-old around."
"As gawky, gaffe-prone schoolboy Otis Milburn, he became properly renowned and beloved in Netflix's smash-hit series Sex Education."
