Josh O’ Connor is “La Chimera.”

 By Laura Medina 

After “The Durrell of Corfu” then “The Crown,” actor Josh O’ Connor is “La Chimera.”

In “La Chimera,” his lost character is Arthur Harrison, an archaeologist who slipped into the black market antiquities that form the foundation for museums’ hot antiquities market.

A Chimera is often referred to as a mythical creature with magical powers and skills that normal people don’t have but wish they have. It’s an Italian unicorn.

Since Arthur Harrison has uncanny knack for discovering ancient artifacts and Roman marble statues, his talents and knowledge fuels the hot, black market that does get him in trouble and being taken advantage of, by the local rural rednecks and farmers who actually make money in the black market.

Basically, poor Arthur Harrison is “La Chimera,” a lost English ex-pat who made home as an English transplant in rural Italy.
