“You know what? I didn’t think about what I would be doing when I read the script and signed on board. It was so exciting to discover that I could play this part of Carl, that I had no idea what I’d let myself in for when I went to Queensland in Australia and then was put through this rigorous, arduous training – learning how to scuba dive and then sort of unlearning in order to relearn this rebreathing technique that they did. And then rock climbing and a bit of base jumping thrown in there, a fight sequence with a young handsome Rhys Wakefield who plays Josh. So, I mean all in all it was a real eye-opener for me,” admitted Gruffudd.
