One of the problems with English accents is that every one of them has some kind of connotation of class, whether its lower, middle or upper. I wanted to do something that was a little bit indefinable, I suppose, with Kilgrave. You didn’t want to think he was a posh boy but neither did you want to know that he came from humble origins necessarily. You wanted to get the sense of someone who has created himself, who had rebooted his existence. As the series progresses, we do learn a little bit of his backstory and I wanted to keep that shrouded in mystery as long as I possibly could.
