Dominic Sherwood on doing ‘Penny Dreadful’: ‘It was a no-brainer’
British actor Dominic Sherwood is no stranger to the supernatural.His career has involved vampires (“Vampire Academy,” 2014), angels and demons (“Shadowhunters,” 2016-2019), and now Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,” an ensemble period piece drama about murder and the occult set in 1938 LA, with Natalie Dormer co-starring as a shape-shifting demon.Sherwood’s character, Kurt, is a regular human — although the show (Sundays at 10 p.m.) has revealed that he’s an American member of the Gestapo with shadowy motives.When he’s not in fantasy stories, Sherwood, 30, has also rocked out playing a young Mick Jagger (in the 2012 movie “Not Fade Away”) and has starred in a 2015 Taylor Swift music video (for the pop star’s hit “Style”).Sherwood
