"I've seen Wilfred Owen played as a limp, nervous, uncertain character. But read the life experience in his words and then recall his age - there had to be more to Owen than this stereotype. Casting Michael Higgs as Wilfred was easy. While he has a not dissimilar look to Owen, he also brought an authority and depth to the character which I think contrasts well with an audience's perception of Michael from his role as PC Eddie Santini in the popular ITV series THE BILL."
