Misia Butler on his heroic trans character in Charlie Covell's Greek mythology

British actor Misia Butler speaks exclusively with The Queer Review's editor James Kleinmann about growing up in London, how he first became interested in acting, getting his break on the longrunning BBC hospital drama Casualty, landing a major role in Charlie Covell's new Netflix series KAOS based on Greek mythology, creating trans masculine representation on screen with his character on the series, Caenues, and his favourite LGBTQ+ culture.
Charlie Covell, creator of the BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated The End Of The F***ing World, is about to unleash KAOS on Netflix: their eight-episode, bold, darkly comic, contemporary-and frequnetly queer-take on Greek mythology, launching Thursday, August 29th. Epic in scope, the series follows the steady unraveling of the cruel and capricious King of the Gods, Zeus (Jeff Goldblum), as he becomes convinced that an ancient prophecy foretelling his destruction has begun to come to pass.
Meanwhile, in the Underworld, an unassuming human who has been dead for ten years, Caeneus (Misia Butler), goes about his daily tasks under his paper-pushing, serpent-haired supervisor Medusa (Debi Mazar), totally unaware of his cosmic significance. That is until the new arrival of another human, Riddy (Aurora Perrineau), leads to their gradual discovery of the roles that each of them has to play in saving the world.
The starry cast also features Janet McTeer, David Thewlis, Rakie Ayola, Cliff Curtis, Stephen Dillane, Nabhaan Rizwan, Killian Scott, Stanley Townsend, Leila Farzad, Ché, Daniel Monks, Billie Piper, Sam Buttery, Mat Fraser, and Suzy Eddie Izzard.
