About the Actors
- Joseph Gilgun who plays Rudy is known for his hilarious, high energy joking around on set. Nathan Stewart-Jarrett who plays Curtis calls him the "life of the party"
- Iwan Rheon who plays Simon is the cast member who 'corpses' the most (when you can't help bursting out laughing during a take). Especially when Joseph tries to make him laugh off camera
- Joseph's first acting role was in Coronation St at age 10 and lasted until he was 13.
- Iwan claims it's the girls, Antonia Thomas (who plays Alisha) and Lauren Socha (who plays Kelly), who are worst at forgetting their lines
- Lauren has joked that she's not phased by winning a BAFTA "I don't really know much about what a BAFTA, you know. These guys are like all explaining it to me. And I'm like oh (shrugs)".
- Iwan is a musician when he's not in Misfits. He fronted band The Convictions before pursuing solo work with his first EP titled Tongue Tied. Embed:
- Joseph started a degree in Fashion Design and was also a plasterer
- If Iwan had the power of invisibility he would strip off his clothes and go down to the house of parliament during question time
- If Lauren could choose a power she would choose invisibility to see what people really think of her
- Joseph has Dyslexia and ADHD "it's been the biggest pain of my life"
- Antonia was cast in the part of Alisha in Misfits the day after leaving drama school at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Lucky for some ay!
- Antonia is set to star in Coldplay's music video for Charlie Brown
Show Trivia
- In an interview with the Geek Syndicate Podcast in January 2011, Howard Overman revealed that Simon was initially going to be evil and turn on the group towards the end of Series 1, resulting in the rest of the gang having to kill him in the Series 1 finale.
- Rubber bats were used for an upcoming zombie episode but it still hurt the actors if they were accidentally hit in the face. Antonia would ask the other actors where she should hit them so it didn’t hurt.
- The producers of the show say the powers the gang choose in Season 3 reflect their character's personalities.
Listen to Iwan Rheon with his single Tongue Tied below. We'll have to see if Iwan's music gets to feature in a Misfits episode!
