AceShowbiz - How Ed Sheeran's character look like on "The Bastard Executioner" is revealed. Entertainment Weekly brings out a picture that shows the "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker in character for the new FX series from "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter.
"I'm not really playing myself in this," he says. "I find that I have reputation of being a smiley approachable guy, so I wanted the opposite. I said to Kurt, make sure that I'm not typecast at all. Write me as a complete d***head in it. I feel like I need that."
The makeup team initially wanted to give him a bowl haircut but he said, "Ah that's not happening." He eventually covers his hair with a hat as seen in the photo. "This hat is a sign of faith. With these hats, you instantly know I'm someone who is in a religious sect," he explains.
"The Bastard Executioner" tells the story of a warrior knight in King Edward I's charge who is broken by the ravages of war and vows to lay down his sword. When that violence finds him again, he is forced to pick up the bloodiest sword of all. Stephen Moyer, Katey Sagal, and Matthew Rhys are among the cast members.
