"The Gentlemen": A British Rogue, Villain Roles, and the Weirdly Tedious Review
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
Daniel Ings, known for playing charming, posh British men, takes on the role of a chaotic aristocrat in Guy Ritchie's Netflix series "The Gentlemen." In his latest role, he portrays Freddy, an arrogant, drug-addled eldest son of a duke, who is passed over in his father's will in favor of his younger brother. Ings enjoys the challenge of transforming seemingly unlikable characters into endearing onscreen presences and looks for something childlike and fun in his roles, even when they are framed as villains.
