David Morrissey, star of British series: "I must feel empathy for my characters, no matter the terrible things they do"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General3 September 2026 at 14:00

David Morrissey, star of British series, is known for his versatility, but has a special affinity for a particular type of role: the man in crisis. Born in Liverpool in 1964, the actor returns to this specialty in the series "Gone", available on the Filmin platform starting Tuesday, day 1.

In the series, Morrissey plays Michael Polly, director of a private school who becomes the main suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Sarah, played by Hollie Bailey. The suspicion arises because Polly did not show the expected reaction and did not report the disappearance with the expected speed.

The article highlights that, regardless of the characters he plays, Morrissey considers it essential to feel empathy for them, even when they commit terrible actions. This approach defines his philosophy as an actor and explains his ability to bring complex and morally ambiguous characters to life.
