The Wheel of Timestar Luke Fetherston reacts to playing a divisive character.
Firstly, I didn’t know that I was auditioning for Gawyn and Galad.
It was all kind of code names.
I was Googling the names of these brothers.
It was something like Gerron and Gorwigthey made up namesand I could not find these names anywhere.
Then, of course, I got the breakdown.

So, I had full visibility of roughly what was going to happen.
That was really helpful.
But I gratefully accepted the challenge and I’m absolutely thrilled to be playing Gawyn.

I guess it’s beneficial, in a way, that I hadnt read the scripts.
So, removing myself from the noise was a quite helpful tactic.
Gawyn’s actions not only led to his own destruction, but also Egwene’s.

Though during the fight scene with Matt, his pride becomes arrogance, it’s quickly glossed over.
Gawyn does match up with some book descriptions of the character and certainly displays an unlikable trait.
However,Fetherston’s performance definitely makes the character more difficult to hate.
