Collider did a wonderful interview with Andrew Gower in which he got to talk about Gustaffson and their newest release “Flowers” but also his past and present acting work.
“Flowers” is also first time Gustaffson collaborated with composer Bear McCreary who Andrew met back in 2015 when he played Bonnie Prince Charlie on Outlander.
He’d seen a live version of “Flowers” that we recorded at St. Oswald’s Church, and he said, “Who’s on “Flowers”?” I said, “Well, no one.” I was in Manchester, he was in LA, and he said, “I want “Flowers.” We all celebrated in the studio across the pond.
Frankenstein’s Wedding
Frankenstein’s Wedding was only Andrew’s second acting job – and it also combined music in front of a live audience of 12,000 at Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds (UK).
Frankenstein’s Wedding, it felt magic. […] The beauty of imperfection.
You can still find videos of it on YouTube (you can find all links here).
Being Human
Andrew played vampire solicitor Nick Cutler in BBC Three’s supernatural comedy drama Being Human.
Being Human was really the thing that was a breakout role for you […]. I often cite Nick Cutler as being one of the best characters that came out of that series. It was such a fun series, and a lot of that is to the credit of how you were able to make this character so human and so relatable, and you sympathize with him and want the best for him.
Murdoch Mysteries
In his first “detecting” job, Andrew played none other than the Great Detective himself, Sherlock Holmes, on Canadian hit crime series Murdoch Mysteries. Or did he?
It was my first time in Toronto, Canada, and it was such a joy. […] And again, I went back, which I think means they liked me. [Laughs] It’s such an interesting character to play. I’ve always wanted to play Sherlock Holmes.
(Inspector) Ellis
My character just goes on this amazing journey in [episode 1]. It sets up a really exciting palette for the season. I’ve always wanted to create my own version of a detective. I’ve seen so many of them and l love so many of them, but I think there’s an amazing scope in that sort of drama.
Ellis (or Inspector Ellis as it is called overseas) is available to stream in the UK on My5 and in the USA on Acorn TV.
