Why ‘3 Body Problem’ John Bradley Could Literally See Himself in His Character


"3 Body Problem" star John Bradley discusses why "Game of Thrones" creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss thought of him for their new Netflix series.

The character Benioff, Weiss and co-creator and co-showrunner Alexander Woo created for Bradley — Jack Rooney, part of the “Oxford Five” of college friends and scientists at the center of the series — may not, on its face, seem all that flattering. Of course, Bradley also hasn’t found himself, unlike Jack, inside a hyper-realistic virtual reality game used as a recruiting tool for an alien race hoping to colonize Earth in roughly 400 years. To enter the game on the show, the character must put on a sleek, chrome helmet that covers their eyes, creating an experience that Bradley calls “one of the most unsettling things that’s ever happened” to him.
