‘Reasonable Doubt’s’ Morris Chestnut on Playing Titular Role in ‘Watson’: ‘It’s a Culmination of My Career’
‘Watson’ world premieres at Cannes Mipcom trade fair, rainy the curtain on this year’s edition.
Cast-wise, Chestnut is joined by Eve Harlow (“The Night Agent”), Rochelle Aytes (“Mistresses”), Peter Mark Kendall (“Kaleidoscope”), Ritchie Coster (“Tulsa King”), and Inga Schlingmann (“So Help Me Todd”). While in preparation to take on the role of the doctor, Chestnut read some of the original books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as well as watching some other screen versions of the character, but what attracted him to “Watson” is the fact the focus isn’t entirely on Holmes, something he “had never seen before.” As for what die-hard Sherlock Holmes fans can expect from the series, Chestnut highlights how “Watson” is a “fresh take” but also preserves some of the most well-known elements of the original detective story.
