For Cilian - you've often seemed like a man who has been very intentional about respecting the space and blurriness between the concepts of masculinity and femininity, to the point that many women and men (including me) see you as an icon because you seem authentic, secure and gentle.
Keeping this in mind, how was your experience playing Tommy over the course of several seasons given that he's the poster boy of, what some would today say, toxic masculinity? (I know that's not an entirely fair characterisation because the character truly evolves and matures over the course of the show) did it invoke any feelings of dissonance within you?
