Emmy Quickie: What Tom Hiddleston Knew ‘The Night Manager’ Was Missing

When “The Night Manager” star Tom Hiddleston showed up in Zelmatt, Switzerland, for the first day of filming AMC’s miniseries adaptation of John le Carré’s novel, he had a suggestion for director Susanne Bier: The script was missing a line from the book that sums up the narrative perfectly.

“[Olivia Colman‘s character] asks [my character, Jonathan] Pine, ‘Why did you do it? Why does a respected hotelier snitch on his guests?'” Hiddleston said in a recent interview with TheWrap.

“And I remember I had the novel with me. … It’s a direct quote from the novel: ‘If there’s a man selling a private arsenal to an Egyptian crook and he’s English and you’re English, you just do it.'”
