💨 Abstract

Sam Claflin, known for roles in "The Hunger Games" and "Me Before You," stars as Edmond Dantès in "The Count of Monte Cristo," a character he finds deeply compelling and complex. Claflin, who has a passion for historical dramas, sees the potential for his role to fill a gap left by shows like "Poldark." He highlights the richness of the character and the intricate subplots in Dumas' classic, making the adaptation a "dream job."
