The British actor, 51, filmed scenes as the late Douglas ' Dutch' Springsteen, who died in 1998, and after wrapping received a message from the musician, 75, who had been on set, saying he felt as though he'd been reunited with his father via Stephen's powerful performance. The actress and producer, 48, appeared in episode two as Mrs. Bailey - a teacher at Bruntwood Academy who reprimands Katie's grief-stricken best friend Jade (Fatima Bojang) for punching Ryan (Kaine Davis). Speaking on the Graham Norton show last month, Stephen explained how Hannah was also key to getting the production of their other current streaming success on Disney+, the Victorian London crime and boxing drama, A Thousand Blows, off the ground as she presented the story to Peaky Blinders creator, Steven Knight, who was fascinated by the idea.
