Trivia / The Electrical Life of Louis Wain

• Playing with Character Type: Talented and eccentric gentleman Louis Wain is in Benedict Cumberbatch's usual wheelhouse, but he's affable and bumbling rather than insufferable like many of the other characters in said wheelhouse.
• Underage Casting: Emily Richardson was about a decade older than Louis Wain but is played by Claire Foy, who is five years younger than Benedict Cumberbatch.
