‘Smoke’: Taron Egerton On Playing A Firebug With A Fractured Moral Code, ‘Kingsman 3,’ Marvel Roles & More [Bingeworthy Podcast]
Update: 2025-07-10
Description
On this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Taron Egerton, the star of "Smoke," a gripping new Apple TV+ series inspired by the real-life crimes of arsonist-turned-investigator John Leonard Orr. Created by Dennis Lehane ("Black Bird"), the series explores the chaos and duality of a man split between duty and destruction.
Egerton stars as Dave Gudsen, a small-town arson investigator who appears to be a dependable family man. But as the series progresses, a darker truth is revealed.
According to Egerton, one of the biggest acting challenges came in those early episodes, where Dave must suppress his true self. The series also stars Jurnee Smollett, Greg Kinnear, Rafe Spall, John Leguizamo, and more.
