Breaking Baz: ‘Bring Her Back’ Star Billy Barratt Says He Performed Best In The Horror Pic After Being Locked Alone In A Room Without His Phone
'Bring Her Back' star Billy Barratt performed best in the horror scenes after being shut in a room without his cell, Deadline's Baz Bamigboye writes.
Brit actor Barratt, 17, who also plays Casper Morrow, one of the few humans able to communicate with the alien invaders in the Apple TV+ drama Invasion, tells Deadline: “There were moments where Danny would basically lock me in a room by myself, and he goes, ‘Just try and get in character.’ He shut the door, I’m not allowed to leave. His breakthrough came when he was 12 in director Nick Holt and writer Sean Buckley’s Responsible Child, the 2019 Kudos and BBC TV drama that won him the International Emmy for Best Actor, followed by two seasons of Invasion. Barrett didn’t meet with any psychologists or social workers whilst preparing for the film, but he tells me that he was introduced to Miranda Harcourt, the distinguished dramaturg and acting coach who often works with the likes of Nicole Kidman.
