You know you're dealing with a versatile actor when they appear equally at home playing one of the most chilling TV villains of the last decade and starring as an eccentric real-life visionary responsible for one of the most meaningful scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century.

And versatile is certainly a word that applies to James Norton. A year and a half after his performance as Tommy Lee Royce in the final season of Happy Valley terrified and captivated the nation – and with an acclaimed theatre turn in the devastating A Little Life and key role in Bob Marley biopic One Love in between – he's now starring in Joy, a Netflix original movie penned by Jack Thorne and Rachel Mason.
