Yes, I agree...it is somewhat weird. But Colin surpasses him on the fact that he's pulled off the most contradicting roles ever! He's portrayed a rapist, a gay character, a teenager who is a murder-candidate, a young warlock and many many other things I'm not aware of(I became aware of his acting carreer just recently). In my opinion, Bradley James didn't pull off this role very well, although maybe we aren't used to seeing him like a teenager in such a mediocre movie(not judging the movie, but it doesn't look so good to me) or maybe it is the movie's fault alone for ruining him for us fans!

When I watch Colin or Katie in a different project than Merlin, however, I still like it although they may be completely different than what they are on Merlin. Even in Katie's "Tudor" scene, were it had me freaked out at the beginning(cute ol' Morgana doing such things? No way!) I later thought "Hey, they're actors, they're supposed to do all shorts of roles, as long as they're not offensive for the viewers and they don't go off-limits". Same when Colin had supposedly tried to rape a woman on a scene. So yeah, although scenes like that kind of ruin the image we've built for the actors, we have to get used to it, I guess! It's partially the show's fault because it's set on a fairytale-like environment, completely different than the real Medieval one.
