Arthur has so many flaws that he has to go through a series of lessons to become the man that we know he's going to become. It's still a learning game for Arthur at the moment, before he becomes the man of legend. I love the fact that audiences are about to go on that journey with me.
Describing his character Arthur

Bradley James is an English actor who portrays the character of Prince/King Arthur Pendragon in the BBC drama series, Merlin (confirmed per radio interview with Jonathan Ross[1]).

Bradley made his first television appearance in an episode of Lewis in 2008. He also played the part of Ben Davies in the BBC Three drama Dis/Connected and the character Carl in Fast Girls.

In an interview, he stated that he had enjoyed being involved with the stunts. However, he had "picked up more than his fair share of injuries".
