Josh Hartnett Masters the Sexy Geek Look at SXSW

Josh Hartnett wears his sexy specs and masters the geek chic look while speaking onstage at the Penny Dreadful panel held during the 2014 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival on Sunday (March 9) at the Convention Center in Austin, Tex.

The 35-year-old actor chatted with USA Today about the series, which is scheduled to premiere on Showtime on May 11.

“For me this character is allowed to crack open in a way I’ve never been able to work on a character before,” Josh said. “Hopefully, the audience is drawn in by the concept and gets to grow alongside the characters.”
