Andrew Wincott's BAFTA award winning performance as Raphael, one of Baldur's Gate 3's most entertaining villains, was one of the RPG's many highlights. He also famously gave us one of the game's most memorable musical numbers when he sang his own boss theme at the end of the House of Hope dungeon. It turns out, though, that this performance also gave him the wrong impression of what the game was all about.
Chatting to Larian about the making of the House of Hope, writing director Adam Smith shared an anecdote about meeting Wincott in person for the first time. Smith was showing him the YouTube video of his musical number, which at the time already had a million views. "He said, 'My god, are the other actors' songs as popular?' Then he said, 'Well, was it not a musical?' He wasn't joking; he genuinely thought it was a musical. He's fantastic."
