Sometimes the attendance of fortuitous occasions drives the career of a young actor. Take, for example, the hero Fiennes Tiffin, who once played Tom Riddle (the most youthful edition of the antagonist Lord Voldemort) in Harry Potter and the half-breed prince, and eventually, as an adult, has become the protagonist of the film. sexy and cool drama roguytic After, founded on the popular novel of ya. The actor/model had just finished selling the latter and preparing for the Tony Met Gala, when he learned that he had selected in The Silencing.
Playing a murder suspect with emotional problems precisely what Fiennes Tiffin hoped to climb on his developing credit list. The three-week filming in Canada is perfectly on its schedule, before I had to return to the set to shoot the afterquel.
At 22, Fiennes Tiffin is already a film veteran. Before betting on the young magician Riddle in 2009, he made his debut in the 2008 British comedy Bigga Than Ben. Born as the hero Beauregard Faulkner Fiennes Tiffin, he comes from a circle of relatives of famous actors and film directors. Her mother is award-winning director Martha Fiennes (Onegin) and her father is cinematographer George Tiffin. His uncles are actors Ralph Fiennes (who played Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series) and Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love). However, Fiennes Tiffin not only handed over the role of Tom Riddle because of his circle of family ties. He faced a lot of other guys to win the role. Director David Yates said he decided on the young man because he had “the dark corner and moods and the strange spirit of the character.”
This ability to delve into the dark emotional nooks and crannies of the characters has been helpful with his role as “Brooks” in the robin Pront mystery The Silencing, which also stars Nicolaj Coster-Waldau of Game of Thrones and Annabelle Wallis of Peaky Blinders.
Like Brooks, Fiennes Tiffin is an annoying young adult who grew up in a physically violent foster home. He has become addicted to opioids and has had problems with the law for some time. When the body of a young woman is discovered along the wooded banks of a river, Brooks becomes a suspect. Even though his sister, the local sheriff of this dying mine in the city on the U.S.-Canada border, he begins to suspect that he might be the culprit. Meanwhile, Rayburn (Coster-Waldau), a reformed hunter, spies a spy on a terrifying scene: a hunter in a ghillie dress (a twig dress) stalks another young woman as prey to her wooded property at the animal sanctuary, so he undertakes an investigation. . Sheriff Gustafson (Wallis) dives deep into the killer’s quest and faces the ethics of what to do if it turns out his brother is the culprit.
Saban Films will present The Silencing in theaters, as well as on VOD and virtual on Friday, August 14.
From his home in London, Fiennes Tiffin spoke on the phone about betting on a troubled character in The Silencing and reprising his role as Hardin Scott in After We Collided, a couple’s next bankruptcy and tumultuous adventure, which will be launched on VOD. October.
Angela Dawson: What’s your charm to play this character, Brooks, in The Silence?
Hero Fiennes Tiffin: Everything was quite short in terms of the task that was offered. I was outdoors to announce After, and then I intended to move house for a few weeks and then move on to the Met Gala, but then I had the offer to play Brooks, which is a very important role. 3 weeks after the Met Gala and the next After.
The role itself is all I was looking to do because I found it convincing, but also because it helped strike a balance with some of the roles I played before. Going from After to something as different as this, then re-do the After moment to anything that would definitely appeal to me. It seemed anything that I intended to receive the schedule of the show, how attached they were to me and how attracted I was attracted to the character. It rarely works perfectly.
Dawson: Brooks is very concerned and for very understandable reasons: he has been abused through his adoptive parents, and has done so with abandonment with his older sister who has recently returned to his life. How did you get to this character’s state of mind?
Fiennes Tiffin: I have conducted some studies on the effects of similar trauma of years of training on people, the effects of prescription drugs and the challenge of opioids. It’s a minor challenge in England, so I had to find out a little bit about this challenge (in America). I think the position is considered suitable for the scenes in which we discovered ourselves in terms of environment and character, so some of the paintings were made for me (as an actor): the way it was so immersive, the total environment was, unlike being on a set, where it is absolutely another intern that is outside. Then I felt like we lived in an environment where everything was totally installed.
Dawson: Its director, Robin Pront, said he sought to feel bloodless and wanted a “comforting embrace.”
Fiennes Tiffin: Yes, you can see pretty early that it had this flavor on a T-shirt. I know exactly what you mean. With the visual and the score, you know in 10 seconds of the movie, what a temper you’re in. He did a great job of setting the tone.
Dawson: What do you like to paint with your co-star Nicolaj Coster-Waldau and Annabelle Wallis?
Fiennes Tiffin: I spent much more time with Annabelle than Nicolaj. She plays my older sister and took me a lot under her protection. I felt very spoiled. With Nicolaj, our great level in combination unfortunately cut, so I didn’t have much time to be informed and paint with him, however, the time I did (painting with him), I took it on merit. I wish I had more time with him.
Dawson: You turned after our collision after the silence. Was everything involved in that before the pandemic closed?
Fiennes Tiffin: Fortunately, we finished it long before it all happened. We were pretty locked up. Reflecting on how the COVID-19 coronavirus affected the release of the films, I was very lucky that everything I cared about was done before (blocking).
Dawson: Did you go to England during the lockout?
Fiennes Tiffin: Yes, I’m at home in London, I don’t do much. Resume the same old hobbies, then abandon part of them. You know how the song goes. The first few weeks, all the clothes washed when I had to and the lawn cut, and I go for a run. Then, a few weeks later, the clothes began to accumulate.
Dawson: He was now allowed to leave in London, where he had a heatwave and everyone in the parks.
Fiennes Tiffin: It’s very hot today. It comes and goes. I’ve been here 22 years and there’s no consistency in the weather in London. You wake up, you look out the window and you see what you get. Seasons don’t mean anything here, I don’t think. I heard it pretty misty in Los Angeles through my friends.
Dawson: Do you read scripts? Is there a soft one at the end of the tunnel to know when you can get back to work?
Fiennes Tiffin: Yes. In terms of projects, scripts float and phone calls are received. I’m not going to ride anything yet if everything’s fine, maybe early next year, but I still can’t say anything.
Dawson: You have After We Collided, which will be released on VOD on October 2. Playing Hardin Scott in the original has made you an idol to your fans. How is he admired by so many fans?
Fiennes Tiffin: I am very revered and I am very grateful to you. Much of the credits go to Anna Todd, the writer of the books, who created such a wonderful character. All enthusiasts are already so limited by (Hardin). I just had to say the words on paper. The enthusiasts now with the same technique as the character they read. I’m pleased to be able to bring this character to life.
Dawson: Are you going to announce what this movie looks like, too?
Fiennes Tiffin: Yes, I’m doing it, and today, as we speak. Just get in position for more paints when the paintings arrive.
Dawson: Is there a specific role or movie you’d like to play?
Fiennes Tiffin: I don’t have a dream role that’s consistent with it, but if I get in a bind, I guess a random role I’d like to play is a movie like Indiana Jones or James Bond. Action, but not just action. So, something like that at some point would be anything I’d like to do.

I’m a formal journalist who spent years covering vital news for various print and television newspapers before finding Hollywood about two decades ago. My resolve to replace my career and venture into the entertainment industry was easy. The arts of acting have been my passion, and with the opportunity to mix my reporting and writing skills with my love of film, television and music, I was paid to do what I love. Over the years, first with Entertainment News Wire, then with my startup Frontrowfeatures.com, I had the opportunity to interview and report on many other people I have long admired as artists, as well as commonly talented newcomers. To paraphrase Dean Martin, “What chance can a woman have?”
