EUROCHANNEL GUIDE SEPTEMBER 2020 5 Interview with KRYSTOF HÁDEK (Leading Character) In the Shadows is a crime thriller that also includes the element of a viral disease of the central nervous system. Is thriller your favorite genre? Yes, it’s my favorite genre if it’s well shot. I like thrillers because they bring tension and one can guess who the perpetrator of the crime is. The popularity of short series has grown in recent years, how do you explain this and how do you perceive them? I like this format a lot. Its advantage is that it provides enough space to play more storylines and better characters. This allows viewers to better immerse ourselves in the story. But I also like playing in feature films because they have specific qualities. How much did you know about the disease the series deals with (rabies) before you read the script? Not too much, but I remember as a child small boxes in the woods that contained a rabies vaccine. They should not be touched. You play a virologist who sometimes must use technical terms. Is it difficult for an actor to use his character’s specific vocabulary convincingly? It’s not complicated for me. The important thing is to deliver a convincing performance. So, if needed, I will just learn technical terms. Maybe it’s even better if you don’t think so much about them because then your acting might be affected as you try to focus on individual concepts. How would you describe your character? He is an avid expert and you can see that he enjoys his work. On the other hand, he has a huge problem when it comes to interaction with other people. The series works a lot with animals. Were you personally afraid of a scene, or do you take it as a diversification of filming? I didn’t particularly notice the animal scenes. The shooting must be adapted to the animals. Besides, I have a positive attitude towards all animals, so I have no problem with such scenes. How was filming for you in Šumava? I like this mountain range very much because it is unique. Let’s hope it stays that way for a long time and doesn’t succumb to various economic and development pressures. Your partner in the series is Johana Matoušková, what was it like to play with her? Johana and I played together for the first time. We knew each other by sight. I enjoyed the tandem we created. Johana is a great actress and also a great person. *Courtesy of Czech Television 6 EUROCHANNEL GUIDE SEPTEMBER 2020 WHO IS WHO?
