Charlotte Riley interview, Culture Whisper
You can’t help but feel comfortable around Charlotte Riley. She’s energetic and funny, as if she hadn’t already answered a thousand questions before we came along. There’s also a kookiness to her, which is a strange contrast to the characters she plays.
Originally from Stockton-on-Tees, actor Charlotte Riley has steadily emerged onto our screens. She was Cathy in ITV's miniseries adaptation of Wuthering Heights in 2009, where she met her heart-throb husband Tom Hardy (who, of course, played Heathcliff), and has been swimming in television ever since.
She’s been quite present in recent TV hits. As well as the upcoming Dark Heart, she’s also enjoyed chunky parts in Press and Trust. ‘I’m sorry!’ she laughs, slightly worried. But playing three characters, more or less at once, did prove challenging.
