Dominic West, known for his roles in ‘The Wire’ and ‘The Crown,’ has recently voiced his support for his former co-star Ruth Wilson’s criticisms of the hit drama ‘The Affair.’ Wilson, who was written out of the series after four seasons, previously expressed concerns about her experience on set, including feeling unsafe and being uncomfortable with the focus on her during sex scenes.

In a recent interview with The Times of London, West acknowledged Wilson’s comments, stating that he had also experienced similar issues while filming the show. He emphasized that everything Wilson had said was ‘absolutely right,’ indicating a shared understanding of the challenges faced during production.

West, who portrayed Prince Charles in the final seasons of ‘The Crown,’ also shared insights into his performance as the royal figure. Despite his on-screen portrayal, West revealed that his wife, Catherine FitzGerald, believes he excels in working-class roles rather than upper-class characters. He admitted that while he appreciates and understands the nuances of upper-class roles, he feels more comfortable portraying characters with different backgrounds.

Reflecting on his diverse acting career, which includes roles such as McNulty in ‘The Wire’ and Jean Valjean in ‘Les Misérables,’ West expressed a preference for characters outside the upper-class realm. He highlighted his versatility in embodying various roles, noting that he finds greater fulfillment in portraying characters with different social backgrounds.

West’s support for Wilson’s candid remarks sheds light on the complexities actors face in the industry and the importance of addressing issues related to on-set dynamics and portrayal of characters. As the conversation surrounding the experiences of actors continues, West’s stance serves as a reminder of the need for open dialogue and mutual understanding within the entertainment industry.
