Matthew Clairmont. Brilliant Scientist. Valiant Warrior. Broken Man. His
identities span the breadth of history from a knight on the
battlefields of the Crusades and a spy immersed in the intrigue of
Elizabeth I's court to modern day Oxford Professor of genetics and
Auvergne country gentleman. A Prince of France with a poet’s heart,
Matthew Clairmont is a relentless killer crippled by remorse. A
character whose emotional depth and complexity encompasses love, loss,
and self doubt, he is driven by a determination to come to terms with
his predatory nature and make a difference.
Richard Armitage, a dynamic, talented and dedicated actor, has the skill
and insight to bring this nuanced immortal to life on the screen. It is
not only his uncanny physical resemblance to the character description,
but his ability to inhabit the grey area of a character’s morality with
conviction and empathy that will bring Matthew Clairmont, a mythical
creature, to the screen in a realistic and thought provoking manner. He
is the only choice for this role. Richard Armitage is the embodiment of
Matthew Clairmont.
