<\/p>\nCulprits kicks off where most stories end, after a high-stakes heist. The Disney+ show follows a crew of elite criminals who go their separate ways after their mission \u2013 that is until the gang find themselves being killed off one by one.<\/p>\n
The eight-part series picks up with one member of the crew, Joe (played by Misfits star Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) who has since relocated to the States.<\/p>\n
Three years after the heist he\u2019s living with his two kids and fianc\u00e9 Jules, who has no idea about Joe\u2019s previous life or UK identity.<\/p>\n
Canadian actor Kevin Vidal plays Jules and says it\u2019s life imitating art between him and his character.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t ever really read full scripts,\u201d admits Kevin, 34. \u201cBut it worked out because my character doesn\u2019t know anything that\u2019s going on either.<\/p>\n
\u201cJules thinks he\u2019s living with a regular guy and he knows there\u2019s baggage \u2013 but nothing prepares Jules for the full extent of everything Joe is going through.\u201d<\/p>\n
The missing half of the story is told through flashbacks starting in the UK, where Joe is recruited by notorious criminal Dianne Harwood (Gemma Arterton) to take part in the risky robbery.<\/p>\n

After that, it\u2019s clear that Joe is keeping up appearances in his new life with a fake accent \u2013 and during filming, Nathan also threw members of the crew when he slipped into his native English tones.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had seen Nathan in shows before, so I knew he wasn\u2019t American, but he sustained the accent all through shooting,\u201d says Kevin. \u201cIt was funny when he\u2019d go into his natural voice, crew members would be like, \u2018Wait, what?\u2019 \u2013 they were very confused.\u201d<\/p>\n
As with any action series, there are stunts involved, from shootings to car chases.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d only just got my driver\u2019s licence at that time, so I didn\u2019t do any big stunts,\u201d confesses Kevin. \u201cBut I saw some, and then I did some green screen driving.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a time where I would have loved to do the stunts, but now I\u2019m 34 \u2013 if I did any stunts, I would ruin my body.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the series being filmed all over Europe as well as Canada, Kevin\u2019s looking forward to watching the filming he missed, including scenes with the other stars of the show Gemma, Eddie Izzard and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to watch it with my husband,\u201d says Kevin. \u201cI shot my stuff two years ago, so this has been a long time coming \u2013 I almost forgot about it!\u201d<\/p>\n
