And the body find nd was just one of manyy real-life events that eerily mirrored the Rellik script. Joseph, 53, s said: “There were a lot of strangestra coincidences. Richard [ Dormer], who plays our main character, getting im impetigo and his face be being covered in blo blotches and b blemishes. “He got the same reaction as his actual character, who’s been scarred in an acid attack. We found that odd.
“Then there was the acid attacks which happened at the same time as we were filming ours. It’s a strange show when it brings out these coincidences.”
