This article contains an interview with Matthew Macfadyen.

An excerpt:

Macfadyen said that Armstrong would often give him this note: “Matthew, I think you need to really tone down the silliness a bit. Tom is running a billion-dollar sub-company.” Said Macfadyen, “Tom runs the parks division. So he can’t be a total prick. But I guess he can a little [on this show], because everyone’s making mistakes, just behaving like absolute assholes. They’re not so slick and cool. They’re rich as Croesus, and miserable. . . . Perhaps he’s a little more cheerful than the rest of them, but he’s not without ambition.”
