Tim Jenkin praises Daniel for his portrayal of him

Tim Jenkin talked with the Evening Standard about Daniel's portrayal of him in Escape from Pretoria.

“He is a very good actor, and I think he’s politically motivated himself which helped. Some modern actors they aren’t that way inclined, and you had to be politically motivated to play the part, that’s the only kind of actor I would have wanted to play myself. Without the right attitude and the right politics you can’t do that person you’re playing justice.

"He asked me what South Africa was like under apartheid and I had to explain to him, and he took it all in, because you can’t really pick up from the script or from the book — you really had to be there.”
