He’s voiced by Ralph Ineson and hes played by this extraordinary physical actor called Craig MacRae.
We didnt have to imagine this guy.
He was there!”

“There was always stuff shooting out there when I was growing up,” she says.
“I think my mum did some supporting role onGladiator.
I guess I was too tiny and scrawny.”
Corlett studied ballet, first in Malta and then London.
I said, ‘My parents cant afford it,’ or something.
She said, ‘If you train hard enough and you do well then youd get a scholarship.’
Later on, I managed to get another scholarship out in London to study fell in love with it.
I think ballet was a therapy for me, at the time I just didnt know it.
It just helped my growing pains.”
Corlett’s first film appearance was in 2011’s Dominic Cooper-starring drama-thrillerThe Devil’s Double.
“Ruth is an incredible actress,” she says.
As for the future, Corlett is hoping she will continue to wolf-out on a second season ofThe Watch.
“Going back to South Africa would be a dream,” she says.
“We had such an incredible time shooting out there with this huge international team of artisans.
They created this incredible playground that we played in for around seven months.
We didnt have to fill in any gaps with our imagination, it was all there.
It would be so sad for all this creation to disappear.
Id love to go back to the world.”
