In Deceit, a drama about the undercover police operation that followed Nickell’s murder, Young plays Colin Stagg, the victim of one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history
Getting the centre parting right was tricky. It wasn’t the biggest challenge Sion Daniel Young faced in playing Colin Stagg, the victim of one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British criminal history, but it was a daily part of his meticulous preparation.
“It kept falling into curtains months after we’d finished,” says Young. “The hair dye took a long time to grow out too so I had this Colin look months after.”
