Forget CitadelOnPrime or GameOfThrones! Richard Madden's best role was when he was at his most vulnerable.
When Richard Madden made his debut as Robb Stark on Game of Thrones, it appeared to non-readers that he would go on to become one of the most integral characters in the future of Westeros. This turned out to decidedly not be the case after the infamous “Red Wedding,” but it didn’t prevent Madden from quickly becoming a household name.
Those expecting Bodyguard to be a non-stop action thrill ride in the vein of recent hits like The Old Man and The Night Agent may not have expected to see such a mature, dramatic commentary on the state of government surveillance and the mistreatment of military veterans. While the series seemed to go viral due to the intimate sexual content, it was far from the melodramatic romance of something like The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
Madden Gives A Nuanced Performance The opening scene of the pilot episode may have led some viewers to get a false impression of the tone that Bodyguard was trying to present; the series opens with a nauseating sequence in which Budd is trapped on a train to London Euston and forced to negotiate with Middle Eastern terrorists that intend to detonate a suicide bombing. It’s a tense, riveting sequence where Madden shows the professionalism of a well-trained combat veteran.
Madden Shows Anxiety and Paranoia Bodyguard proves that it’s more of a paranoia thriller than an action saga as the series delves into Montague’s controversial bill to support “Snoopers” that would surveil citizens and potentially violate civil liberties. While it appears that Budd has always leaned in a more liberal direction, Madden explores how his experiences have hardlined his views.
