Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson play the lead roles

The Irish actor played the serial killer opposite Gillian Anderson from 2013 until its third and final series in 2016. Meanwhile, Jamie himself spoke out recently about his character Paul and how it affected his future roles in more light-hearted projects.

Speaking to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on This Morning last week on the release of his new film Endings, Beginnings opposite Shailene Woodley, the 50 Shades of Grey star explained his part in the BBC drama changed viewer's perception of his acting. "I always thought I'd do comedy early on [in my career]," the 38-year-old began. "And then I played a psychopath and nobody really thought of me in a comedic way. So I've been trying to get back to that a wee bit."
