James Murray took on the role of Assistant Director in addition to place within the cast in a production of Love of the Nightingale in Edinburgh in 2005.
James Murray: I never thought I'd get to shoot a Gorgonopsid between the eyes in a forest. But then I never thought I'd be wading up to my waist in an East End reservoir, there are pros and cons.
James Murray: (About the Shape of Things) It's always interesting to tour through seaside theatres because you get a real mix of reactions. One or two people walked out in disgust; there is a fair amount of swearing. But the play's purpose is not to make an audience feel better. It is rather about getting a reaction and this play, if we do it properly, will certainly provoke people.
James Murray: It was fun, that's what attracted me personally to Primeval, because I've never really done too much hands-on-shameless boy's own gun-toting stuff before.
