WAR Horse and Kick Ass 2 star Robert Emms is stepping into new territory with BBC drama Atlantis.
The former Oakwood School, Horley, pupil will star as Pythagoras in the show which debuts this weekend.
He joins Jack Donnelly (House of Anubis) as Jason and Mark Addy (Full Monty, Game of Thrones) as Hercules at the centre of the drama set in the mystical city of gods and monsters.
The show follows Jason - of the Argonauts fame - as he arrives in Atlantis and joins forces with Hercules and Robert's character Pythagoras.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Robert said: ""Pythagoras is the polar opposite of Hercules - the tidy, obsessive one.
"Jason fills the third place that maybe is missing in the house… and that's where the bromance begins."
But he told the website he is still struggling with the character's famed theorem.
The show, which begins on Saturday at 8.25pm on BBC One, also stars Lost in Austen's Jemima Rooper as Medusa and About Time's Aiysha Hart as Ariadne.
