All that talking into your wrist, touching your ear, I love that stuff. I grew up watching Indiana Jones and James Bond movies and other action movies. I mean, I am only in my early 40s, but you don’t know how much longer you can get those types of roles. So, you’ve got to try and enjoy it when they come.”Compston addressed filming the fight sequences for the second season of the British TV series:“It’s a bit like 24. When you get to the end of it, it feels like we’ve been through the wars together, and you feel like there’s a deep connection between the two of us. But all this stuff happens over the course of the night.”What was Red Eye Season 1 about?The first season unfolds during an all-night flight between Beijing and London.
