Nunn on the Run went overseas to talk to the magic man.
Jerry Nunn: Hi, Colin. Congrats on a new season. What can we expect this time out?
Colin Morgan: The first thing people will notice is a very different tone this time. We are shooting on 35 millimeter. The stories have become more complex and more powerful. The tagline of the season is “the darkest hour is before the dawn.”
JN: I have heard talk of Arthur and Merlin being gay icons. What is your feeling on Brokeback Camelot?
CM: I keep my self pretty separate from it to be honest. I’m not a big Internet user.I don’t do blogs or Facebook or Twitter or anything like that. The only thing I have is an email account.
But if you’re looking for anything in any show in any form you can find it. It’s certainly something we stick very clearly to the scripts and play them for what they are. And there’s certainly no kind of like overtone or pretext that we’re trying to show.

I don’t know Tyne Daly or Jane Lynch but they were in it and I went right up, shook their hands and told them that I loved the play. Tyne told me that I should be doing the show. I wrote a letter to Daryl Roth the producer, and the cast director also. They asked if I would work in the Chicago cast and I said yes because I love Chicago! The director and cast are wonderful so I hope to do it again in New York.
