Interview: Jonas Armstrong Talks WWII Thriller 'Walking with the Enemy'


There's a good chance you'll be seeing a lot of Jonas Armstrong in the future. The Irish-born actor first came to my attention as he was robbing from the rich and giving to the poor each week on BBC's Robin Hood series. But he's about to jump into the big time with a star-making performance in Walking with the Enemy, in which he plays real life figure Pinchas Rosenbaum, a Hungarian Jew who posed as a Nazi officer to rescue his countryman from the inside.

I had a chance to sit down with Armstrong, along with co-stars Simon Kunz and Simon Dutton, to talk about the film; the pressure to do justice to the historical figures they portray, and first-time director Mark Schmidt's dedication to authenticity.

You can listen to the interview in full below. [Cinema Royale]
