The moment actor Tom Glynn-Carney met the 102-year-old SAS member he’s portraying on screen was just too emotional.
Tom will play Mike Sadler in the new BBC drama series SAS: Rogue Heroes, which was created by the brains behind Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight, and filmed in North Africa.
SAS: Rogue Heroes lifts the lid on the birth of the SAS and tells the stories of its original members, including Mike.
Exploring the real story behind the TV show, Tom – best known for his roles in Dunkirk and House of the Dragon – met Mike at his home, to reminisce on his role in the SAS and get to know the person behind his character.
