The actor stars in 'Rosaline,' a retelling of the Shakespeare tragedy told from the point of view of Romeo's former lover.
’s Los Angeles, California, premiere, and Teale reflects fondly on the experience of reuniting with the cast and crew after spending an entire summer filming in Verona, Italy.
Teale notes that the film’s script, adapted from a book by Rebecca Serle, had been floating around in pre-production for more than a decade — long enough that he had read for the part of Romeo eight years ago and forgotten about it. This time around, the 30-year-old British actor was tapped for the role of Dario, the romantic lead opposite Dever; the character doesn’t exist within the Shakespeare’s text.
Teale’s character, a soldier and potential suitor for Dever’s Rosaline, didn’t have precedent in Shakespeare’s original text. The actor relates Dario to his previous role in the Marvel series “The Gifted,” which was set in the X-Men universe. While many of his costars portrayed characters that already existed within the comics, Teale’s role, the mutant Eclipse, was a new addition.
Unlike many other young actors, Teale notes that he didn’t immediately discover an aptitude for acting. “I was terrible at drama when I was 12. I was useless. I did the ‘The Wind in the Willows,’ and I was like, the stoat number three, and I missed my line every night. I had one line, so I was useless.
