Thomas Brodie-Sangster Crafted Two Versions of Jack in The Artful Dodger

In The Artful Dodger, the titular character grows up to become an accomplished surgeon by the name of Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who lives in Australia. But things quickly go awry for Jack when a figure from his past turns up on the recent convict ship, and Jack finds him forced to play host to his erstwhile father figure, Fagin (David Thewlis). Together, Thewlis and Brodie-Sangster make for a dynamic duo, and the series is made even more delightful by the blossoming romance between Jack and the Governor's daughter Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell).

Speaking with Collider, Thomas Brodie-Sangster discusses how Jack presents two versions of himself when he's with Fagin or he's rubbing elbows with posh society, why he chose to stick with one accent for his character, how Jack is grappling with a loss of trust and security, the high mortality rate of surgeries in the period, and how vital "love" is to who Jack is as a person, particularly in relation to Fagin and Lady Belle.
