I’m currently writing a pilot episode for a tv show (an original idea that nobody knows about yet), and I needed to get more inside the head of the main character than I was. He is Fletcher Madoc, an internationally renowned sceptic and debunker of conspiracy theories and myths.
On the wall of Fletcher’s office is the iconic poster from Fox Mulder’s office in the X-Files, but he has covered the words I WANT TO BELIEVE with the words IT’S ALL BOLLOCKS.
Trying to make fictional people feel real is an important and tricky thing to get right. I highly recommend bringing their reality into your own.
