So, sort of blessed and cursed by his incredibly comfortable social position.

How did you prepare to take on a role from such an iconic work of literature?

I was struck by how the characters in Forsters early-20th century Britain seemed very modern, really.

Theyve got their corsets on and their top hats, but the emotions are very modern.

The costumes are absolutely gorgeous.

How was seeing them come together?The costumes were beautiful.

The Schlegels had an exciting, sort of modern color palate.

Tibby looks like a Brooklyn hipster.Yeah!

He could become a fashion icon.We can hope.

Theres not really much Tibby can become outside of an academic.

So maybe if he becomes a fashion icon, maybe that will get his head out of the books.

And theres something quite funny about that: Theyre these intelligent humans, but theyre careless and silly.

The finale ofHowards Endairs this Sunday on STARZ.
