Henry Lloyd-Hughes

Henry Lloyd Hughes is an English actor and fashion connoisseur as the Creative Director of family sportswear company N.E.Blake & Co. (we’re not sure that he would give himself that title, but we certainly do!). He has played many characters with looks that are rarely forgettable as Hughes often jokes that his CV is split between characters with a handlebar mustache and those without, and fondly recalls various tech bro fleeces he wore in Killing Eve. One of his more memorable looks is as the fallen and considerably rugged Sherlock Holmes in Netflix’s The Irregulars. Lloyd recently stepped into a new, and very different, rugged detective role as DS Nathan Rose in Ragdoll whose ruggedness lies in his intense emotional turmoil throughout the series. The “looks” of his characters never overshadows his brilliant portrayal, which could not be any more evident than in his role as Nathan Rose. The thriller follows DS Nathan Rose, DI Emily Baxter (Thalissa Teixeira), and DC Lake Edmunds (Lucy Hale) as they embark on a gruesome case of a “ragdoll”- a body sewn together using dismembered parts of six murder victims. The ragdoll killer sends the team a list of his next victims, one being DS Nathan Rose. As the series progresses, we learn of Rose’s personal connection to the case and the trauma that follows. In our interview with him, Henry Lloyd Hughes comes across much more lighthearted than his character as he tells us about his role as Nathan Rose, comes to a realization that he should have possibly been a silent film star, details his very fashionably moderate full leopard fleece tracksuit, and recalls a mistaken and humbling round of applause from the Ragdoll cast.
