Playing Senior Crown Prosecutor Jake Thorne sure had an termination on Dominic Rowan; he started to cross-examine inwards his sleep!
"Apparently I wasn't cross-examining a detail witness but I was lodging 'an objection my lord' inwards my sleep, which I accept no scream upwards of," says Dominic. "Because of a relatively tight schedule as well as courtroom scenes betwixt me as well as a witness, which tin live iv or 5 pages long, I was drumming the lines into my caput thence I had flexibility as well as e'er knew what was coming up. I must accept been rehearsing it inwards my slumber because I wanted to live sure I could practise it well. Luckily the slumber prosecuting didn't last.
"In the outset episode I had James Fox inwards the witness box as well as nosotros had a iv as well as a one-half page duologue which was fantastic but a fleck nervus wracking. It was tricky because non alone was in that location 'legalese' but every bit he was playing a doctor, medical terminology likewise but he was peachy as well as rattling professional person as well as nosotros simply got on alongside it."
Talking near his grapheme Dominic explains: "Jake has alone late joined the CPS. He had previously been practicing every bit a Treasury Council prosecutor, but his ticker wasn’t completely inwards it. He is an alone child, whose manly someone raise died when he was rattling immature as well as he never forged a especially rigid human relationship alongside his mother. She sent him to boarding schoolhouse which gave him a stair out of self- reliance as well as a rigid sense of correct as well as wrong.
"Alesha asks of him 'Is in that location no grayness inwards your world?' But Jake believes there’s a fourth dimension for that inwards the pub over a drink, non inwards the law. He has a rigid sense of role inwards the project of convicting people. His mantra is near people making a choice. He is less inwards favour of mitigating circumstances; he may live sorry near a defendant's background but he believes ultimately they had a choice.
"He is tough as well as piece Alesha wants to know context for people's actions he is to a greater extent than concerned at prosecuting them for what they did non why they did it.He volition e'er force for the harshest judgement possible as well as utilization every way he tin to convict. I also think Jake is quite competitive as well as wants to bear witness his self- worth, cope his way up. His sense of making sure people practise the fourth dimension for the criminal offence attracted him to the CPS; he wants to run into judge done but is non shy of using techniques to win if he finds a sneaky route.
"It was useful to acquire near the human relationship betwixt the CPS as well as the police delineate during my research. The creation of the CPS caused resentment inwards some quarters which was helpful to know. I accept scenes where I acquire as well as run into the coppers to listen what evidence they accept as well as charges they accept made but it is as well as thence my tell whether nosotros acquire ahead alongside a prosecution or not. Being aware of that condition helped every bit Jake has a run inwards early on alongside Ronnie Brooks where he is telling Jake 'you can’t driblet a murder accuse to manslaughter; you lot couldn't practise this if you lot had kids.' But it doesn’t thing to Jake, it wouldn’t brand whatever divergence every bit to how he does his job. And that’s non how the law works. The police delineate acquire rattling unopen to it, they run into disturbing scene of criminal offence materials but ultimately they introduce to the CPS who brand those in conclusion decisions."
Talking near his character's human relationship alongside colleague Alesha Phillips, Dominic continues: "Initially when putting a illustration to the boss, Henry Sharpe, the prosecutors accept to debate the relative merits of the evidence they have. There are a yoke of illustration inwards the series, especially ones involving children, where Alesha says nosotros demand to know why this is happening thence nosotros tin halt it as well as Jake has a waspish reply near it existence fourth dimension to seat away the liberal text books. Alesha was unopen to James Steel as well as he was to a greater extent than crusading inwards his approach thence nosotros tend to spark off each other initially. I’m non dismissive of her but am a fleck abrupt. Jake is adamant that officers of the courtroom are non social workers as well as her mental attitude gives him something to butt upwards against.
"But although he is a fleck grumpy alongside her at times, Jake realises her abilities as well as although he mightiness non handgrip alongside her opinions, he can’t debate alongside her results. In her investigations Alesha finds out crucial bits of evidence which way he tin practise his job. So in that location is respect, to the indicate where nosotros accept this scene when I am near to cross-examine a witness as well as I am practicing on Alesha who says my approach is likewise harsh. Jake trusts her view as well as encourages her to cross-examine on his behalf. He thinks she has the powerfulness as well as sure doesn’t process her similar a junior partner. They withal accept a fleck of knockabout alongside each other as well as Alesha puts him inwards his place."
Dominic is no stranger to legal dramas…
"Ten years agone I did a Channel 4 drama called North Square as well as that was the in conclusion fourth dimension I had visited the wig makers Ede as well as Ravenscroft to acquire a wig as well as gown. I defy anybody to await proficient inwards a wig, thence it wasn't something I relished. This fourth dimension afterward trying on many wigs I had a novel 1 but it looked likewise novel evidently thence Sam inwards make-up had to oil it upwards a fleck for me. The barristers deport them around; sling them inwards a box or a locker. Wearing the wig is instant nature to me now. But it doesn't acquire whatever to a greater extent than comfortable. The courtroom laid upwards inwards Law&Order: Great Britain is a climate command room but they can’t command it thence past times the cease of the 24-hour interval I am melting nether the wig."
Dominic wasn't a Law&Order devotee when he landed the component subdivision but is looking forrad to a box laid upwards marathon.
"When I got the project I hadn’t seen the serial every bit I'd been doing a lot of theater …it is 1 of those things if you’ve watched, it's quite compulsive. But when I got the audition I did a compare as well as contrast as well as in that location is a tonal difference. In America it seemed every bit though everybody who came into the room was every bit of import every bit everybody else. Status levels didn’t seem that different. In Law & Order: Great Britain it seems people are deferring to other characters a lot more. I didn’t desire to lookout likewise much of the Great Britain serial afterward I had the foreign sense of learning a scene for a cross-examination as well as thence turning on the idiot box as well as seeing Ben Daniels doing a cross-examination.
"Ben as well as I had done a yoke of plays together at The National Theatre; The Three Sisters inwards which he played a proud, alpha manly someone grapheme as well as I was an overweight man child who hid away, as well as brothers inwards Iphigenia at Aulis when he was the warrior hero as well as I was a jumped upwards oik. So having played the modest to his major inwards those as well as thence seeing him inwards total menstruum I idea it best non to lookout whatever more! But it felt prissy knowing him as well as having the baton passed on. I’d beloved him to come upwards dorsum as well as live a defense barrister contrary me…but alone if I won."
