Just that really.
Love him in Shetland. Followed him on Twitter and found out he is not a nice guy at all. Quite shocking tweets to be honest - and he's been like that for years!
I know about actors being different people to their characters, but somehow I imagined him being more like Jimmy Perez and less like a prick he seems to be. I am genuinely upset.
AIBU?
To be heartbroken about Douglas Henshall not being a lovely guy I thought he was.

What I mean is, he’s speaking with a Shetland accent - but he’s using dialogue written by a Scots/English scriptwriter. It’s just not how Shetlanders speak - “knapping” is when they’re speaking in dialect.
it’s the equivalent of Frankie Boyle retaining his accent but speaking like he’s straight outta Eton.
to put it into perspective, a Shetland fisherman told me when they were in port in Friesland, the Dutch told them to stop “mangling English” and to just knap as they found it easier to understand.

To be fair to Sir Sean, his attitude to accents was "fuck that". Whether he was King Richard III, an immortal Spaniard or James Bond, his accent was exactly the same.

I shared a flat with a guy from Shetland. It is like a whole other language. Peerie was the word I remember most.
