The actor spoke to the ECHO in an exclusive interview about why he reprised his role as Chris Carson and his time filming in Liverpool
The acclaimed actor has the privilege of choice when it comes to new projects and his career is made up of shows that tow the fine balancing act of short and sweet. The ethos has stood him in good favour as he appeared in the first, and potentially best, season of the anthology show, Fargo, Sherlock went on for a grand total of 14 episodes, The Office just 13.
"But I was interested in the characters. I love playing Chris and I was interested to see what Tony was offering up for Chris and these other characters. Always with the idea that we don't have to do it."We can just leave it at that and we would have made five episodes of good television, which is five more than we mostly get to do. We're all very proud of the first and we only want to do the next one if it's as least as good and, hopefully, better.
"I want to do things that are complicated and messy. This show is very good at starting conversations rather than coming up with answers. I don't think me or Tony are the oracle of anything. " In an interview with the ECHO, show creator Tony Schumacher revealed Martin would have refused to do the part if he wasn't able to master the Scouse accent. The showrunner provided an insight into his lead actor's process as he said Martin relentlessly worked on perfecting turns of phrases and trusting his ear to crack how Liverpudlians sound.
"He said he was walking around the house just effing and jeffing. I don't know what the neighbours must have thought." Tony joked Martin is still hooked on the Scouse accent even after filming has finished as he contacted him to check if a word he said during filming had the correct "k" sound. He said: "It was mad because he rang me up the other night and I had to remind him he wasn't getting paid for this anymore."
