Based on the 1962 Dutch novel, De Brief voor de Koning, by Tonke Dragt, William Davies’ new Netflix adaptation tells the story of Tiuri, a teenage squire, who answers a call for help and navigates the three fictionalized kingdoms of Unauwen, Dagonaut, and Evillan, on a treacherous journey to deliver a secret letter to the King. Meanwhile, the brutality of the merciless Prince Viridian complicates matters for Tiuri, enlisting him to rise to the challenge. We ask Amir Wilson, Ruby Serkis, Gijs Blom, and Thaddea Graham, of their respective journeys filming _Letter for the King_. **How much of your own selves have you placed into your respective characters? Which qualities of yourselves do you most wish to impart into _Letter for the King?_** I really hope you don’t recognize me as a person in _Letter for the King_, because my character is quite mentally ill \[laughs\].

In real life, world domination!  Photographed by [Ian Morrison](https://www.instagram.com/imorrison/?hl=en).
