James Norton got into character as he viciously kicked a co-star as he was seen filming The House Of Guinness for the first time on Monday in Liverpool.
The Happy Valley actor, 39, looked to be playing a villain character in the new Netflix series as he filmed scenes in the street.
James looked furious as he was spotted holding a piece of metal as he swung his arm in the air before going to kick the co-star who was lying on the road.
He cut a smart figure in a black suit which he teamed with a white neck scarf, a long coat and a top hat.
The Grantchester star had a number of fighting scenes during the day as he was crowded by a number of other characters before the police showed up.

Netflix announced new show – House of Guinness – which will explore the history of the family behind the famous brewery earlier this year.
The show will be set between Dublin and New York during the 19th century, beginning after the death of Benjamin Guinness – who is credited with the brewery’s early success.
The series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will chronicle the extraordinary success of the family behind the famous Irish brewery, which was founded back in 1759 by Arthur Guinness.
But behind the story of wealth and prosperity lies a tragic tale of seemingly endless misfortune for the family.

It is unknown who James is playing in the new Netflix series
From Tara Browne, who died following a car crash in South Kensington, to scandalous affairs and divorces and the tragic drowning of Honor Uloth aged just 19 in 2020, the family seems to have been dealt a series of devastating blows.
The personal losses faced by the Guinnesses have become so infamous that it is thought to be ‘cursed’, despite holding a fortune of over £900million today.
Creator Steven Knight commented: ‘The Guinness dynasty is known the world over – wealth, poverty, power, influence, and great tragedy are all intertwined to create a rich tapestry of material to draw from.
‘I’ve always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life for the world to see.’
