The Actor Speaks: Gareth Thomas -Roj Blake - A Childhood Remembered:
Roj Blake - A Childhood Remembered is the first segment in The Actor Speaks Volume 1: Gareth Thomas CD release.

This was released in 2000 but I got the said segment months after Thomas' death in April 2016.

Some interesting remarks from Thomas of what he thought of Blake's background and his motivations including him saying that Blake was the only one of his crew who was a non-criminal in that he was only one who got framed with the crime he was charged with. In fact the false crime that Blake was charged with was why the first episode The Way Back was not shown initially in the US and went straight instead to the second episode Space Fall.
Somehow his remarks that Blake had been using his crew for his own ends felt unsettling.

Despite Blake's motivations with the use of his crew it did not however prevent his mourning of Gan when he died in Pressure Point.

A good reflection from Thomas on playing Blake.
