Jeff Pope: “I will add that Ed was King of the Curling Tongs on set, though. Because he has naturally straight hair and spent hours and hours walking around…” Ed Stoppard: “That’s true. Actually, joking apart, when I first spoke to the make-up artist I said, ‘Look…’ Because he did have this very characteristic wave. And I said, ‘It’s useful for me, if no-one else, because he looks like someone who’s trying to re-invent himself.’ His hair is the hair of someone who is trying to re-invent himself. He’s got this curly Jewish hair and he’s furiously doing this to it, trying to tame it and straighten it out and be someone else. That was very helpful for me. It was very informative.”
