'Camping' star David Tennant thinks his character Walt has been "subsuming" himself
David Tennant has been all over the place with his work, and with creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's HBO show, 'Camping', he has taken up a role which is a perfect mismatch for the palette of characters he has been playing lately.
In the HBO show, Tennant plays Walt, the submissive husband to Jennifer Garner's Kathryn, who is out on a camping trip with his family and friends to celebrate his 45th birthday. Unfortunately, being among people who are anything but even meagerly functional, Walt finds himself mostly at the receiving ends of things.
While speaking with AV/TV Club, Tennant described his character thus: "He should be very much central to everyone's joy but he is pretty much sidelined by everyone because everyone's sort of dysfunctional and that comes bubbling to the surface. And poor old Walt is desperately trying to have a nice time."
