Louis Partridge plays Edward Guinness
Louis Partridge said of his character when speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com: "Edwards feels very prideful that he's kind of been in the brewery, hands on for most of his life. He really cares about it, to the exclusion of possibly everything else that's healthy.
"And Edward is kind of white knuckling it, perhaps a bit, but I think he thinks that if he doesn't deal with people, his mad siblings, then the Guinness brand is just going to fall apart, because it's a PR disaster.
What else has Louis Partridge been in? Partridge has had roles in films including Paddington 2, Enola Holmes and its sequel, Argyle and Jay Kelly, as well as series such as Medici, Pistol and Disclaimer.
Emily Fairn plays Anne Plunket
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com alongside Benjamin star Fionn O'Shea, Emily Fairn said of their characters: "We're like the Forgotten two, aren't we? I'm the eldest but I'm a woman, and then you're the drunk one. So we get nothing in our Father's will. So how do we navigate that and still feel part of the family when we're not allowed to work on the business."
What else has Emily Fairn been in? Fairn has had roles in series including Rain Dogs, Black Mirror, COBRA, Mary & George and The Responder, as well as films such as Saturday Night and Joy.
Fionn O’Shea plays Benjamin Guinness
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, Fionn O'Shea revealed a real-life personal family connection he has with the Guinnesses, and how he used it in his audition to get the role of Benjamin.
"I was like, I don't know, trying to do some kind of emotional blackmail, that the ghost of my great grandfather would haunt [director] Tom Shankland if I didn't get it. That is true though, my great grandfather did work for, not quite this family, but the next one."
What else has Fionn O'Shea been in? O'Shea has had roles in series including Roy, Hang Ups, Normal People and Masters of the Air, as well as films such as The Aftermath and Cherry.
James Norton plays Sean Rafferty
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, James Norton said playing Rafferty is "probably the most fun I've ever had".
"He's the foreman of the brewery, so he runs the show, but he's also like a fixer, a bit of a gangster, and he uses violence when needed to kind of keep that grip of control. But he also has this amazing integrity and respect from other people, and humanity, and also has this amazing playfulness and swagger.
What else has James Norton been in? Norton is known for his roles in series including Doctor Who, War & Peace, Black Mirror, McMafia, Grantchester, The Trial of Christine Keeler, Happy Valley, The Nevers, Playing Nice and King & Conqueror, as well as films such as Rush, Belle, Mr Turner, Hampstead, Little Women, Bob Marley: One Love and Joy.
Niamh McCormack plays Ellen Cochrane
On Ellen's relationship with the Guinness family, Niamh McCormack told RadioTimes.com exclusively: "She's right smack in the middle of the political chaos going on, and she goes head-to-head with them.
"There's so much power play going on, and they're both really standing the ground. She's so strong and modern. Steven Knight's incredible work is that every character just feels so modern and like there's breathing life through them."
What else has Niamh McCormack been in? McCormack has had roles in series including The Witcher, Witness Number 3, Willow, Everything Now and Small Town, Big Story, as well as films such as Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves.
Danielle Galligan plays Lady Olivia Hedges
Speaking with RadioTimes.com, Danielle Galligan said of Olivia: "She has this kind of unshakable sense of self worth, and she's very brash and tenacious. And I can't relate to that, really. So it was nice to live vicariously through her, and I think play a woman in a time when they were so restricted and constrained, to play someone very unconventional.
What else has Danielle Galligan been in? Galligan has had roles in series including Game of Thrones, Krypton, The Great, Shadow and Bone, Kin and Obituary.
Jack Gleeson plays Byron Hedges
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, Jack Gleeson said of that journey: "Byron gets to go to New York, aka Northern Quarter in Manchester. He goes on his own little side quest and comes back with extra swagger and extra fur coats. But yeah, there was a full kind of three days, I think, where we were filming this amazing chase sequence through the streets of New York.
