In March, Noel spoke to Paste Magazine about casting Greg Davies in "The Completely Made-up Adventures of Dick Turpin"!
Noel: “There was a part in Dick Turpin of the rival gang leader who’s a much better highwayman than me. I knew that Greg would be perfect for it. We were sort of writing it for him. But then we had to quickly check if he wanted to do it. And he was so busy at that point, because everyone wanted him. He was like, “I’ll do it if I can. I’ll do it if I can.” We just took a gamble and said, “Look, it’s got to be Greg. We’ll write it for him.” Because I’ve spent so much time with him, it was very easy for me to write in his tone of voice. Then, he comes in and improvises anyway. But you can get the gist of how he would be. Greg is just one of those performers that he’s such a big presence, as well as being a huge man. He’s a giant. But on set, he’s so funny. He’s so giggly and he makes himself laugh. And then everyone in the room laughs. That’s quite contagious. He’s always sort of not taking it seriously and there’s something really brilliant about that. He was a joy to work with.”
