VICKY McClure's latest television turn as a woman plagued by eerie goings-on in thriller Insomnia is right up her street when it comes to taking on brooding gritty roles.
"Some of the stuff [I do] is really dark and you can't help, as an actor, putting yourself in their shoes to try and think about what that might feel like and how you might get to that place," she said as she discusses her new six-part psychological drama.
"I think I do a lot of dramatic, dark kind of work.
"God knows why! I always work hard and I enjoy what I do - I'm bloody lucky to do it. And I like the dark stuff.
"You don't get to the end of that and think, 'Give me a sitcom.
"You think, 'Give me some more of this".
In the Paramount+ thriller, the star of BBC cop drama Line of Duty and ITV's explosive Trigger Point plays Emma Averill, a hard-working lawyer who fears she is losing her mind when weird stuff starts happening.
"I've not experienced anything like that myself-but I'm not closed to it," she explained when asked if she believes in spooky stuff.
"I'd say I was somewhere in between, in that I haven't seen it but that's not to say it doesn't happen.
