Neil Gaiman reveals how Mason Alexander Park landed the role of Desire in Netflix’s The Sandman
Neil Gaiman reflected on the tweet that led to the casting of non-binary actor Mason Alexander Park in Netflix’s The Sandman.
On 5 August, the popular streamer released the highly anticipated series to critical acclaim. The show – which is based on the DC comic of the same name – follows Morpheus (Tom Sturridge), one of the seven Endless and the personification of dreams.
After being released from a 106-year-long imprisonment, Morpheus sets out on a tumultuous adventure to rebuild his realm, The Dreaming, and figure out who was responsible behind his capture.
While the show has been praised for accurately adapting the comic book, fans have also lauded the series for its inclusion of LGBTQ+ actors and characters – including Park’s portrayal of the mischievous Desire.
