Jason is managing a club that is going
nowhere, but he doesn't care as long as he has his mates around
and can screw the waitresses. He is always trying to prove
himself, secretly filming his sexual conquests to brag to
his mates.
Jason is portrayed as very much the
leader of this group, as manipulative and aggresive but Stephen
has his own clear ideas: "I think he was quite clever at school
but he hasn't got any ambition. It's about being a big fish
in a little pond. If he cast his net wider, he wouldn't succeed
because there are many more like him, probably better."
There is a lot of sexual content in
the drama mostly revolving around Jason and it raises issues
of his morality and power base: "I don't think he needs to
be moral," Stephen explains: "He gives, so he thinks, a good
service. It's about manipulation through sex, and being powerful
and having strength over other people. He does it with the
boys, showing photographs of his sexual exploits, wanting
them to be impressed. He is also very generous to his friends
but only to tie them to him and that's the reason they go
back. It's very manipulative."
Of all the characters it is Jason
who is very clear that their actions amounted to the rape
but he shows no remorse: "It's a horrible thing to say but
he's got off on the fact that he has been complicit in a rape.
I think people have the ability to justify their acts, anything
like that is abhorent but it is fascinating how they can do
it without any feeling of remorse."
Stephen Moyer's television credits
include Ultraviolet, Conjugal Rights II, Cold Feet II as well
as roles in the films Quills and Prince Valiant.
