Alan Van Sprang Interview: It's The Best To Be The King

Alan van Sprang describes his character of King Henry and the family dynamic on "Reign." Queen Catherine makes a lot of the decisions for Henry, but since they are "soul mates" he's not afraid to throw his weight around and make the final call.

Hidden between the lines of the history books is the story of Mary Stuart, the young woman the world would come to know as Mary, Queen of Scots. The teenage Mary is already a headstrong monarch ─ beautiful, passionate and poised at the very beginning of her tumultuous rise to power.
