'I’m not Tom Cruise' Coma star Jason Watkins on leading new Channel 5 drama as an 'ordinary man'
When Jason Watkins was offered the part of a man at breaking point in a brand new drama, he couldn’t wait to get started. From McDonald & Dodds to Hold The Sunset, Jason has a habit of playing “the little man”, which is how he describes his character, Simon, prior to a split-second decision that changes his whole world. In the four-part series, Simon is living a very normal life with wife, Beth (Claire Skinner) and their daughter.That is, until the neighbourhood falls victim to the terrorising antics of a group of teenagers.
