Graham McTavish Takes on His First Gay Role in 'Spartacus: House of Ashur' (and Reveals How He Wants 'Outlander' to End)
"McTavish sat down with IndieWire to discuss his most recent role, and what sets it apart from all the rest. The new 'Spartacus' series is a sequel to the original 'Spartacus,' and explores an alternate path where the gladiator Ashur did not die at the end of 'Spartacus: Vengeance.' McTavish stars as Korris, alongside Nick Tarabay's Ashur and Tenika Davis' Achillia. He opens up about playing his first gay character, the intense gladiator workout regime, and why one intimacy coordinator was not enough on set."
"He runs through his best and worst memories from all of his projects, including the lowest moment in his career, filming a certain scene in 'The Hobbit.' He also fondly looks back on his time on 'Outlander,' working with Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan, and confesses how he would write the ending of the beloved long-running show, which will finish its run in 2026. Spoiler alert: He doesn't want it to end."
