Strike Back Series 2 Interview

We talk to Strike Back stars Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester about the second series of the hit action drama show based on the bestselling books by novelist and former S.A.S. soldier Chris Ryan.

Australian actor Sullivan Stapleton plays American character, Damien Scott, a former Delta Force operative who is familiar with the antagonists of the first series and an old friend of John Porter. He is recruited by Section 20 to help Stonebridge track down the kidnapped, Porter and bring him home. American actor Philip Winchester plays British character, Sergeant Michael Stonebridge, a "by-the-book" operative who partners with Scott to help track down kidnapped spy, John Porter.

The guys tell us about their military training, characters and what fans can expect to see in the explosive second series. They also talk about the impact of the show and the huge fan base it has grown, explaining why they think it's proved so popular.

Phillip Winchester on the other hand is very charismatic and super sexy, he looks like he really enjoyed the show. I still like Stapleton too. I'm loving the show so far.

@AdRoyJones he is an American born to an English mother. He was raised in montana and went to acting school in England. His accent is effected which is kind of weird

[terribrad24]

Phillip Winchester reminds me a lot of Tahmoh Penikett

[MrJamessproule]

@carnifex2005 Have you seen him in the Tv show Spooks??

[MrJamessproule]

@peacerose2130 yea was just thinkin that!!!, he probly done a line before he started the interview, because he cant really seem to focus. plus see the way they look at each other like they would love to tell you what they really got up to on set but they cant, but yea you read my mind:)

[carnifex2005]

@MrJamessproule True but Armitage is one of the leads in The Hobbit, so yeah, that is a far bigger and better gig than Strike Back.

[MrJamessproule]

@Elyyzza yep i totally agree with you.. (porter) Richard armitage is a better actor than these two, thats what i think anyways....

[TomLivesMusic]

Yeah- Stonebridge is American and Scott is Australian...

[FatJedi1892]

@AdRoyJones Stonebridge is actually American! Check the net.

[AdRoyJones]

@arsenalfan are u being serious? Stonebridge is English in strike back and obviously he is English in this interview!? U had me thinking then ha I had to listen again, Scott is an Aussie tho played a good yank, I just watched the last episode gutted it is over :( I never saw the first series is it anywhere as good as SB2 ??

[arsenalfan00009]
