Domhnall Gleeson on His Anna Karenina Character: Its Easy to Get on His Side

You may recognize actor Domhnall Gleeson from the Harry Potter franchise — he played Bill Weasley — but in Anna Karenina, he plays quite a different role. As supporting character Levin, Gleeson is a romantic outcast in Russian society, and when I chatted with the actor, he talked about playing the literary figure and why he’s so relatable. Gleeson also talked about why he wanted to be in this film and what it’s like to come off of the Potter films.
