Tom Burke is Athos: With the musketeers 'having often seen him smile, but had never heard him laugh', Tom Burke also faced a challenge in portraying the highly guarded Athos, though he admits that the hardest thing to get his head around was playing a lead character with consistency. Tom recently appeared in Ralph Fiennes' Oscar nominated 'The Invisible Woman' and also had a role as Ryan Gosling's deceased brother in 'Only God Forgives', but 'The Musketeers' is his most challenging to date. 'The biggest challenge is hanging on to your through line but trying to make it fresh and trying to not repeat yourself', he explains.
