Toby Regbo | Portraying Æthelred on The Last Kingdom

[@richardbenitez7803]

This guy is an outstanding actor. His death scenes in Last Kingdom is the best death acting I’ve ever seen in Movies. I’m sure Toby will have a long career. All his scenes in Last Kingdom as the King of Mercia were fantastic.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Yes he was incredible in TLK! Especially the episode leading to his death!

[@Panda72021]

Man that death scene though, as soon as Eardwulf grabbed the tool and stuck it in the bandage, you knew what was coming and I immediately cringed. The skull crunching bit is what got me. Can't deny he had it coming, but it was certainly a 'What-the-actual-hell?' moment.

[@farhanrahman2119]

Toby is such a good áctor, he played tommaso peruzzi in Medici who was the most innocent and likeable guy ever, then he played Francis who's also a nice guy, and he's played aethelred, and I'm happy to say he has played each character with sheer perfection, loved the episode guys, my favourite yet

[@thescreenchronicles]

Awesome!! Thanks! Yes he seems very versatile with his acting abilities!

[@changuk_biased2010]

Seen him in all shows! His acting range is PHENOMENAL

[@valeriekennedy2757]

Gonna predict an Oscar within ten years. His skills are phenomenal. But we need to see him in more modern, contemporary projects to really understand the depth of his talent. He's gotten a little typecast and we need him to expand because he is amazing talent.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Alright we see you call it! When he wins one we’ll know who called it :)

[@farhanrahman7119]

Certainly the most well spoken guy on the cast, fantastic actor as well 👏loved aethelreds heroic charge

[@thescreenchronicles]

The charge was awesome!!

[@AllieB-11.11]

He went to a REALLY posh school here in UK! Latymer Upper.

[@murielmortier1881]

This was fantastic. He doesn't realise how funny he is. Thanks for not giving up.

[@thescreenchronicles]

No problem! We never give up! Thanks 😊

[@googirl5]

I laughed so hard. How can anyone be so handsome and talented, yet seem so utterly unaware of his charm? I prefer him playing the hero, but because of him, I couldn't hate Aethelred.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Glad it made you laugh! 😊

[@roseg1333]

Perfectly said👌🏼

[@jayviensam]

Mannn, he was so great on The Last Kingdom as Aethelred! Lol I love his accent btw. ❤ During in season 4 when Toby was on the scene in bed with a head injury. then all of a sudden the death scene.. i was like "oh noo"

[@thescreenchronicles]

Such an intense scene and an amazing acting performance!

[@marcobarrientos4953]

Toby Regbo is the best!!!!!!!! What an experience, having this discussion with him. REIGN IS LOVELY!!

[@80sherazade]

I’d watch Toby Regbo and David Dawson acting together even if they star in the soap commercial. They are so talented. More of them, please!

[@thescreenchronicles]

They are incredibly talented!!

[@80sherazade]

The Screen Chronicles they have such gravitas.

[@teamsigurd1902]

Toby is a great actor. I saw a video of him where they asked him to play a scene from Reign with his co-star Adelaide Kane and he swiped so quickly into his character, I was shocked. He's talented.

[@thescreenchronicles]

He is really amazing!

[@myzonedr]

He is always my favourite actor either as Francis, Mr Nobody, Dumbledore, or Aethelred.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Awesome! And we’ll see what this new role will be!

[@sashavelez1969]

You did it again! :) Great interview! Toby was great as Aethelred and did such a good job of making us "kind of" like him at the end, lol. His change was definitely unexpected but played out perfectly in the story. Can't wait to see who you get next - thanks again for these!

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks so much! 😊 yeah we always thought we’d be excited when he got what was coming to him! Incredible job by him and the writers for that turnaround

[@lynnpeppa1]

I have such a crush on Toby Regbo… I’m 72 years old so… This is insane!

[@DaveGrohlsprincess]

I want to have a kid with him only if he wanted one, I want a boy and name it after his dad. 🥰

[@deborahjohnson331]

Loved him in Reign and everything he does. 😍😍😍

[@angieb347]

Another great interview! I am really going to miss Aethelred in Season 5 :( Toby played him so well! He was intense, complex, and really funny lol

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thank you!! I know, he really is an incredible actor, and his character was so nuanced, especially in season 4

[@marianneholman5651]

As usual, you guys did a great job! Proving how great an actor Toby is as Aethelred and allowing everyone to see what a funny guy he really is.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@lisaward2636]

Great interview. I really dig how actors warm up to you guys. This one was no exception. Love The Last Kingdom.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks for the kind words and support Lisa! We are glad you enjoy 😊

[@gisellesimon9038]

Great interview! Toby is such a fun and talented actor, easy-going and articulate. I loved how he was able to poke fun too at his character taking him down to the bare bones to highlight AEthelred's childish exploits. I'm always amazed by your abilities to weave various aspects of past conversations with the producers, costume designers, tidbits of dialogue, and highlights from the show to drive the conversation and broaden the sharing. Talk about knowing the content of your material huh- not only for Toby's portrayal in The Last Kingdom but your knowledge of his other works as well. You took him through that transition, moving from one show to the other with such a clean flow - really nice interview.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thank you for these kind words Giselle!! We are so glad you enjoy the style of our talks 😊

[@NiniFromParis]

Great interview !! At first, I really hated Aethelred so being horrified and sad when he died was such a strange feeling ! lol

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thank you! Yeah never expected to feel a sort of sadness when he died! So well played

[@baroyruralhealthunit8507]

TRUTHHHH

[@premkann9562]

Thank you for making this. It's great! Toby is my favorite actor and I'm watching TLK because of him although I don't like his character as Aethelred but when I watched him in the death scene I'm in tears 😢 It's good to know that his mom was there when he filmed that scene, how cute he is. And thanks for the question about Fantastic beasts. I'm a big fan of Harry Potter also, I really want to see him more as young Dumbledore in Fantastic beasts 3.

[@thescreenchronicles]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking it out 😊 it would be great to see him in Fantastic beasts more!

[@niveditaindranilchoudhury6522]

It was a great interview 👍 Toby was great as a person we loved to hate. His portrayal as a petulant person was really good.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thank you! Yes he was wonderful as a petulant person!

[@Dipsy67_ri]

Toby is such a great and talented actor and lovely person. He portrayed a mad and disgusting King in this show so brilliant. Looking forward to his new acting in "A Discovery of Witches” and wish him all the best for his future.

[@nancyingling3889]

I love Toby i watched all i can find i enjoy his acting and so much God bless you

[@farhanrahman7119]

Really looking forward to his next project, hope you guys cover that as well😅

[@thescreenchronicles]

We will definitely be keeping track of his future work!

[@stuy76]

Incredible interview, definitely worth waiting for. I loved it !!!

[@thescreenchronicles]

Great!! Glad you enjoyed! 😊

[@mariemander1865]

At last had time to watch this properley and in peace. Great interview as always.Such a down to earth chat with Toby. Love how Ethelred went out with a bang with his battle charge and head injury. Yes agree period dramas must suit Toby. Great to hear how passionate he is about acting and how ore inspired he felt to be on the TLK set and actually in the show. What a funny and down to earth and interesting chap Toby is. He's definately a very talented Actor as he plays a part we love to hate hes a very believable baddie in TLK.Thanks muchly all involved once again 💜🗡🛡👊😊👌👍🙆‍♂️🖌✏🖍

[@farhanrahman7119]

Oooh the best one yet, absolutely love Toby!, (commenting before watching)

[@valeriemangan2064]

He's such a charming and sweet guy, its amazing how he was able to play such a convincing SOB. Thanks for the great interview. I really hope for big things in his future.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks watching, glad you enjoyed :)

[@user-dh8ve4ti2x]

Love this actor seen him in ,any roles he’s brilliant in all.

[@LeeGuilhermeDias]

Toby is very talented! 💙

[@thescreenchronicles]

He sure is!

[@jenssin1]

(At last I got to watch, I'm 2 behind due to studies). Toby is an interesting guy, great actor but UGHH that death scene! I could watch it but only without the sound effects! Literally makes my skin crawl. Yes, how dare he make me like Aethelred for just a second. I'm looking forward to watching his career progression. As always, you guys brought us another great interview, thank you.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Yeah that death was brutal! Thanks and we are glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@editasllamniku7874]

I finally managed to watch this amazing interview with Toby ‘Athelred the Mean’ hahaha he was so annoying and we all loved to hate him 😜 including Toby 😂😂 such a great role to have in The Last Kingdom and he did a great job. Thank you guys for all these incredible interviews with our favourite cast & crew from our favourite show 🙏🏻🥰🙌🏻⚔️❤️⚔️❤️⚔️❤️ I also love your interviews because you’re so prepared and taken your time to learn about the role/character/part for each and every one of them whilst actors work on a project and ‘move on’ so to speak and not necessarily know all the details 🙏🏻😂 you make us think 😉

[@ritatagliaferri9049]

Thanks for this fantastic interview. Toby is great, lovely and talented. He deserve more and more!

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks for watching!! Glad you enjoyed

[@ashley7260]

Yay Toby! Loved Toby as Francis on 'Reign'. Hated AEthelred, but that's to Toby's credit as an actor! Toby is amazing in every role! Imagine if AEthelred had had King Francis's personality -- AEthelflaed and AEthelred would have been a dream team!

[@karlamoreno7205]

great interview! love toby!

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thank you!!

[@rebeccaholmes5924]

What a talent! And a thoughtful, genuine, incredible person. Great interview guys!

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks Rebecca!

[@tammybrown3736]

Great interview your a wonderful actor Toby it’s tough to play a bad guy but it’s sounds like you really had a lot of fun doing it. I laughed my ass off your was so funny and friendly.

[@goguma4ever]

Wow, most of the casts were really talking about David Dawson huh? Hes really our beloved King Alfred 🥺😍 I know he is an introverted and a bit shy person IRL (he said it himself haha), but can you guys try to get him in this podcast? Really miss him 😭 it doesnt help hes not in any new project right now 😫 I hope Eliza can persuaded him since he is her best friend now 😂

[@user-dh8ve4ti2x]

Seems like a really nice guy does he realise the impact he’s made in all his roles..wow..

[@jcc10680]

Loved Toby Regbo's Jack in the third (and last) season of The Discovery of Witches.

[@francinerberkley2839]

I believe DOW was the project he was alluding to when he described his character as having an “interesting” combo of both good & bad. He was perfect in the role of Jack.

[@GarebearGaming]

I’ve been bingeing these interviews absolutely fantastic. I hope you guys are able to get Alexander Dreymon on for the final season

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks! And glad you have enjoyed them! That would be awesome to have him on 🤞🤞

[@kathywindsor9666]

Watching Reign again just to watch him as Francis. Just love English accents

[@roseg1333]

Love all his roles they are so diverse. It just proves what a talented actor he is. Most actors play the same type of role all their career, Toby switches it up pretty much every roll. Kudos to him! I’m in awe of his hard work and talent 💕 and also he’s hilarious! On and off screen. You guys hit it on the nail about the part where his wife is kidnapped and she asks don’t you even care? Hilarious! 😂😂

[@roseg1333]

His character is always denying the girl is his daughter but both his character and his daughter in question both have a love for birds. thought that was very interesting.

[@cherifasalah7879]

As usual you did an amazing job guys!!!! Great chat and Toby is such a talented actor and I can't wait for your next podcast !! Stay safe.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks so much!! Next one coming soon 😊

[@Panda72021]

When they were talking about the falcon and how Aethelred sees himself as a "bird of prey", kinda made me realize his whole character is a bit like a turducken. Aethelred is a turkey who acts like a peacock, who sees himself as an eagle, but once you get to know him...deep down he's a chicken (afraid of losing influence and lands; and later on, afraid of dying without a proper successor).

[@thescreenchronicles]

Right you are, a wonderful analysis! Thanks for your comments Anna, we really enjoy them 😊

[@jenniferwilliams4484]

Love you Toby 😘

[@70saju]

Great job guys (again)! I wasn`t a fan of Toby, though he showed a solid (and in season four an even touching) performance as Aethelred. But he`s really likable and funny, a great pleasure to watch and listen:) - Unfortunately the subtitles are no more synchronous after about 60 minutes. I`m looking forward to his new project and your next guest.

[@thescreenchronicles]

Thanks!! And thanks for the heads up on the subtitles. We will look into and try to get it fixed!

[@lanaramos877]

Oh wow how lucky to be part of those fun shows

[@ilanakashi2462]

I hope to see more of him as young Albus Dumbledore 😍

[@thescreenchronicles]

That would be awesome!

[@richardbates7685]

I know the subject is 'Last Kingdom' which I watched and really enjoyed, but in the case of 'Reign' I believe you (Toby) were the best actor on the series. We are talking hundreds of actors!

[@farhanrahman7119]

Yes absolutely, Francis was my favourite as well

[@crsitalianrose]

Absolutely delightful & enjoyable!!! I've noticed in many pieces what an amazing actor he is! I think it's how forthcoming he is just shootin the sh*t as if we are all friends. #TLKTV 💚🛡⚔💜

[@irishdawn8387]

HE is amazing I loved him in Reign

[@DaniDaysAhead]

Definitely so much cooler person as himself. Lol

[@thescreenchronicles]

Haha totally!

[@richardbenitez7803]

I thought that in addition to Toby Rigbo and Harry McEntire, Brian Vernel who played Odda the Younger was also outstanding. Unfortunately for Brian , his character was cut short by being stabbed to death by his father. I looked at the characters played by Toby, Harry, and Brian as the young guys in the show. I was sorry to see Brian die off so early in the series.

[@gailcullinan]

I love Toby. He was a great Aethelred ...

[@iniguezification]

So far Reign is my favorite, and Mary so beautiful, as well as you, you guys are amazing together!

[@stuy76]

Speaking to The Screen Chronicles about his fall in the battle, Regbo said: "It was a long time coming. It was a kind of accident, it happens. You are official !!

[@Shaw4Life]

52:07 they talk about albus dumbledore & the summer of 1899

[@thescreenchronicles]

Had to discuss Dumbledore for sure!!

[@lukelafitte5608]

Perfection!!!

[@thescreenchronicles]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@michaelarathmanner1206]

Viel Lob und Anerkennung braucht jeder Mensch das fördert die Kreativität.Mit Kritik ist es schwieriger das kratzt an der Seele ja aber der Job als Schauspieler ist ist auch nicht immer leicht.

[@angiehinson2615]

He is great in Medieval movies.

[@thescreenchronicles]

He really is!

[@einfachich9873]

Live him so in reign as Francis

[@lorelyndumaug8137]

[@danielaf1487]

I'm not a psychologist but while watching Aethelred's scenes of intimacy with Aethelflaed and Eadith, I did wonder what kind of mental disorder he suffered from. He only ever... took women with their backs to him and never even kissed. In fact come to think of it, Aethelflaed's moonlight kiss with Erik was probably her first kiss! Very sad. And then Aethelred was convinced he and Eadith were "in love" and even asked for confirmation from her, in that dissociated, pathological way of his. I wonder what his diagnosis would be if a shrink analysed his scenes?

[@iniguezification]

How tall are you?
