Good Omens star Michael Sheen recently reflected on his unofficial role as David Tennant’s “attack dog” on the set of the Prime Video fantasy-comedy’s second season.Sheen recalled how Tennant relied on him to resolve their shared grievances during filming at MCM London Comic Con. “[Tennant] leaves it to me,” he said. “When there’s a problem and we’re unhappy about something… because I’m supposedly the grumpy one. So he can say, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, it’s just Michael has a wee problem with this… it’s not me, I’m fine with it.’ I’m the attack dog that has to go on out… [Tennant’s] a bit too good to be true really, he’s always lovely to everyone.”Good Omens fans will no doubt enjoy the irony of Sheen positioning himself as crankier than Tennant, given their respective roles in the show. As the angel Aziraphale, Sheen is the embodiment of optimism and patience, whereas Tennant’s demon Crowley is a curmudgeonly realist. That said, Good Omens creator Neil Gaiman, who co-authored the original novel with the late Terry Pratchett, previously revealed that Sheen was initially set to portray Crowley, with Hugh Grant his top choice for Aziraphale. The scribe added that he settled on Sheen as Aziraphale and Tennant as Crowley “somewhere in the middle of writing Episode 3” and never looked back.Related: Good Omens Theory: Will Crowley Stop Being a Demon in S3?
