The
Wire star Dominic West has admitted to reading about himself online and joining
discussions about his work on internet forums. West,
who is currently working on the second series of BBC Two drama The Hour,
claimed that no-one ever believes it is him when he confronts them online about
derogatory remarks.
"I like to have chats about myself with people - mainly
putting forward the case for the defence in forums. I use my own name but
nobody ever believes me," he told the Radio Times.
West
also confessed to watching back his own work when it airs on TV.
"I
don't particularly like watching myself on the TV but I do like to check that
none of my lines have been cut," he said.
"One
or two ended up on the cutting-room floor [in The Hour] but that was mostly due
to my occasional bad acting."
The six
new episodes of The Hour will feature the broadcast team "deeply embroiled
in cover-ups, sexual intrigues and the resurgence of Mosley's fascism" and
will have the "looming spectre of the Cold War" as its backdrop. The
Thick of It comic Peter Capaldi, Hannah Tointon and Tom Burke have joined the
cast for the second series.
Filming started in December in London and the new run is
expected to air in summer 2012.
