Eddie Marsan describes growing up on a London council estate in the 1970s and 1980s as a time when he was "afraid" of white working-class men. The 54-year-old actor portrays a London crime boss in the Amazon series, which explores a fictional world in which young women discover they can release electrical jolts from their fingertips. Marsan says that while he has never been able to portray working-class men in the same "charismatic" way as fellow East London actors Danny Dyer and Ray Winstone, he has found success in other roles, including playing Hancock, Sherlock Holmes, and a bank robber in Guy Ritchie's film Gangster No 1.
