The actress talks about her journey from working as a supply teacher to appearing on a British sketch show to starring in the highly anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s comic books series.

“I’m biased, but I think people are going to love it,” she says of the show, which is based on Neil Gaiman’s fantasy comic and sees her character, Lucienne, playing right hand to Tom Sturridge’s Morpheus. Ahead of the Aug. 5 premiere, she reflects on teaching and landing her current role.

You worked as a supply teacher, which we call a substitute in the States. What was your teaching style like? I was very strict. The kids were always like, “Yes … supply teacher!” So I had to come in really hard and say, “I’m your teacher today, so you’ve got to listen to me.” I was strict, but I’d be crying on the inside.I loved the whole concept, and I loved [Lucienne], who’s this calm, intelligent presence. I’m really interested in this theme of dreams, too. I’d just lost my dad about a year before this project came about, and my dreams became really important to me because my dad was in them a lot.

It was a massive learning experience. I’ve never done anything like this and I’ve never worked with greenscreen. The first day of filming felt like a sketch of what it’s like to be on a film set.No. I was always obsessed with my hair, like. And then when I lost my dad, I looked at myself in the mirror and I just didn’t recognize myself. It was really weird. So I went to the barber and cut it all off.
