As ever I have learned a lot! Thanks all.

I think Sosorry is bang on in suggesting that he thought he would wait till after Tayto success (!!) and Emmy noms etc to see what was out there. The plan maybe also included planning a break in early 2017, knowing how much he would have been doing through 2016 (KSI, fauxmance, Thor 3). So, as he thought, see what comes up from September 2016 onwards, expecting to be booking by the end of 2016 and filming by mid 2017 after a break.

>>935 I had never really thought of how producers would see Tayto in terms of needing babysitting on press junkets etc. I just thought they would see it in terms of whether he was a credible leading man with the public. It's sad that he unravelled years of being a good company man with 2 months of messing around - I mean, he could not possibly have been criticised for how hard he worked on the ISTL tour in March/April 2016.
