"Harry Wild" is serious in subject matter but cheeky and campy in tone at times. It's the perfect middle ground between strict dramas and full comedies, positioning Jane Seymour as the symbol of charming British humor in her role.
When asked if her comedy work helps bring out her serious work, she simply said, "Oh, absolutely." However, her philosophy on contemporary comedy is where she had more to say. "The way that comedy is written and performed these days, it's not performed as comedy, it's performed very earnestly and very realistically and the more serious you are, the funnier it is," she continued. "That's the way it is. To me, comedy is enhanced reality."
For Seymour, this philosophy extends to everyday life, too. "It's life. Let's face it, sometimes something terrible happens and then for no reason, you laugh about something and you can't believe you did," she added. "Then, you go back to actually caring about what's really happened." Still, there are specific comedy roles Seymour has worked on that have helped her elevate her approach to the genre.
