Cast & Crew:
Lorna Doone was cast with some of Britain's most talented entertainers. We have enclosed a complete cast list below, including the credits for the directors, writers, etc. I've done special spotlights on Amelia Warner, Richard Coyle, and Aidan Gillen as well, as they are the film's very foundation. The film credits were gathered from the Internet Movie Database. The name links will take you to either an official or fan page; character links will take you to their character description and summary here at My Lady Lorna.
This talented young actor has captivated people with his role of John Ridd against Amelia Warner's Lorna Doone. Playing a complex character who is driven for revenge, but then transformed over time, his role is passionate and yet holds back, a difficult part to play...
Dark-eyed, beautiful Amelia Warner plays the spirited and yet compassionate title character in A&E's Lorna Doone, a young woman who has a hidden past, and a brutal life in the wicked realm of Sir Ensor Doone, a notorious leader of the clan of outcasts. Her future is certain - she is to marry her treacherous cousin, Carver (Aidan Gillen), and she does not question it... until the mysterious and dashing John Ridd comes into her life...
Blue-eyed, dark-haired Aidan Gillen was made known throughout England for his part in Queer as Folk, but it wasn't until he portrayed the deeply twisted and yet almost likeable Carver Doone that he became known in the United States. Carver is a complex character, and Aidan plays him with a sensuous intensity.
