Comedian Jack Whitehall has turned to the dark side for his latest work, Prime Video's Malice, in which he plays a man hellbent on revenge.

His character, Adam, despises wealthy venture capitalist Jamie Tanner, played by David Duchovny, with every fibre of his being – spending his every waking moment vying to destroy him.

After holidaying with the Tanners in Greece, where he masquerades as a tutor-cum-'manny' for friends of theirs, he manoeuvres his way into Jamie's home – where he really takes it up a gear, with shocking consequences.

"It was a big departure [from what I'm known for], and definitely the most challenging role that I've ever taken on, but one that I was very excited to do," Whitehall told RadioTimes.com.

"And it was the good kind of nerves, turning up to work each day and feeling really challenged and at times, slightly out of my depth, but I had a great creative team around me to help me grow in confidence as we filmed it.

"I really enjoyed and relished the challenge of doing a completely different part."
