5. What drew you to Eden and the character of Cam?
Eden is this sort of mystical, dark paradise world that I was excited about. I felt like it painted a really attractive picture on top, with these really scary and ugly roots at the bottom. I like stories like that and to get to do this in AustraliaI felt prefer I hadn't quite seen a show like it.
Once I got on the phone with Mirrah Foulkes and John Curran, the first two directors, I felt this trusting strength and I felt the same thing once I started working with all the cast and crew. So, it was gentle of gut instinct, really — like I was supposed to d
