QuoteCosmo Jarvis is having a hell of a 2024. The English actor and singer has been winning tons of new fans worldwide thanks to his idiosyncratic take on Shōgun hero John Blackthorne. Instead of playing the English navigator as a white savior or gallant warrior, Jarvis's Blackthorne is a hilariously awkward opportunist who has seemingly stumbled into his good fortune. As Shōgun continues this week on FX, Blackthorne will find himself once again torn between the man he was when he arrived on Japan's shores and the hatamoto he's become under Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Mariko's (Anna Sawai) influence.But playing quirky visionaries isn't anything new for Jarvis, who once popped on Max in a small, but vitally important role on the prematurely canceled Raised By Wolves. Jarvis appeared in three Season 1 episodes as Campion Sturges, a brilliant atheist who transformed one of the Mithraic Necromancer androids into "Mother" (Amanda Collin), designed to raise a new generation of atheists on far-off planet Kepler-22b. The two also had a deeper, more romantic relationship than just that of creator and creation.Sturges was arguably the architect for all of that sci-fi show's most wild and wondrous developments and we'll never know what was supposed to happen next! Raised By Wolves creator Aaron Guzikowski told Decider back in 2022 that he would never stop working on the labyrinthine story."I will tell this story until the day someone stops me is basically my plan. So everyday I get up in the morning and I just keep on putting the pieces together and trying to decode things and trying to figure it out. Hopefully we'll get a chance to do the whole thing. But if we don't I'll figure out how to get it out there some other way," Guzikowski said. "I'll draw it and it'll take me like 30 years."Sadly, Raised By Wolves exists only in Guzikowski's brain. It's one of the originals that Warner Bros. Discovery ripped off of Max, meaning you can only catch it on occasion on Tubi. Still, between Guzikowski's vision and fans' devotion, all hope's not quite lost.Nevertheless, when Decider asked Cosmo Jarvis at Winter 2024 TCA if he would ever reprise the role of Campion Sturges — or if Guzikowski revealed any tidbits about the character left off screen — he politely demurred."No, I don't know anything," Jarvis said. "I don't know anything about him.""But Amanda Collin is excellent and it was a hell of an experience to be involved with such a kind of visionary show in that... Yeah, like I enjoyed playing that part because it kind of felt like a strange Twilight Zone episode.""But no, I don't know anything," he said, shaking his head.Alas, we'll just have to wait until Guzikowski finishes his illustrated version of the saga's conclusion...even if that means waiting thirty more years.
