- I'm not bored, I'm not finished playing him yet.
And as he grows up, I feel I'm growing up, too, and it's nice to see him build relationships and learn things every year, and just change.
- When you see him at the beginning, you think becoming an MP is the very last thing he would ever do.
He's this reckless rebellious teenager with no responsibilities.
- One moment!
- [Debbie] Obviously the war changes him.
- When he was on the battlefields, and he had to make decisions quickly, he came back with that stubbornness.
He's got to be bold, take chances and take risks.
He prefers to be in control.
- He has his flaws, like all human beings do.
- Verity would say I suffer from the curse of the Poldarks.
Swiftness to anger, readiness to hold a grievance, inability to compromise.
- This ever simmering feud between Ross and George escalates to new heights.
- It's like a whirlwind that catches anyone that's close to it.
- He realizes he has to step up and fight for the things that he believes in.
He becomes a reluctant leader.
- He inspires people.
- He has to abandon some of the idealism of his youth, and deal with the pragmatism of making change.
- I think he's learned how to compromise a lot better, and just listen as supposed to.
Like it's not always about him.
He's emotionally more intuitive than he would have been in Series 1.
At least I hope so.
I am.
(laughs) - It's not that he suddenly becomes this sober figure of authority who plays by the rules.
He never plays by the rules.
He's never gonna stop taking risks.
He's never gonna stop being reckless, that is in his DNA.
