The Hobbit actor Richard Armitage appears in a photo shoot for the December 2014/January 2015 cover story of Da Man. Talking to the magazine about the rise of British actors in the United States and why this may be, Armitage contributes it to a “Brooding distain, dark humor and irony, all provide great contrast to that ‘all-American’ feel-good factor, but it’s always about balance. I also think there is a great literary tradition in Europe: script first, picture later. It can be the reverse in the US. Again, it’s about a good balance of opposites.” / Photography by Mitchell Nguyen McCormack. Styling by Alexa Rangroummith Green.
