Published 2nd Sep 2015

Set to hit UK cinemas this weekend, the fourth instalment of the adrenaline-fuelled Transporter series - The Transporter: Refuelled – sees Ed Skrein step into Jason Statham’s size 10s as Frank Martin.

Already being built up as one of Britain’s finest new action heroes, Downtown Radio’s Jo Parkerson caught up with Ed to get the lowdown on the movie.

Ed told Jo what it was like taking on Jason’s career-defining role, reaching out to his predecessor and how he gave Frank his own unique twist.

Also famous for playing Daario Naharis for just one season of Game of Thrones before Michael Huisman took over the role, Ed also told us what really happened with his abrupt exit.
