'Humans': Mark Bonnar like Neil Sommers could never trust AI for his emotional needs, for that he has red wine and deep-fried chocolate

Mark Bonnar is man of diversity, and in his latest role as the sombre Neil Sommers he explores a character who is full of disdain but otherwise rational
UPDATED JAN 8, 2019

BAFTA-winning actor Mark Bonnar has appeared in some of the best TV series, both comedy and drama, of the last decade. In 2017, Bonnar starred in 'Apple Tree Yard' opposite Emily Watson and Ben Chaplin on BBC One and then in 'Unforgotten', winning the BAFTA Scotland Awards for Best Actor for his portrayal of ‘Colin Osborne’. He also received wide praise for his portrayal of Eric Morecambe in BBC Four’s 'Eric, Ernie, and Me'.

This year, Bonnar joined the cast of Channel4/AMC’s 'Humans' for the key role of Neil Sommer, an intriguingly charming scientist on a government commission with whom Laura Hawkins (Katherine Parkinson) develops a strong personal connection.
