"Mark Strong has admitted that he had doubts over appearing in the US remake of Low Winter Sun. The actor - who appeared in the original UK Channel 4 mini-series in 2006 - said that the opportunity to appear in the remake was too &amp;quot;fascinating&amp;quot; to turn down.  He told PA: &amp;quot;Over the years, I&amp;#039;ve been approached to do US television but I didn&amp;#039;t want to leave home, frankly, and always said no. But Liza, my wife, said, &amp;#039;You don&amp;#039;t get opportunities like this very often&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Strong played police officer Frank Agnew in the original show and will appear in the same part in the remake, which is set in Detroit. Strong continued: &amp;quot;Certainly, I&amp;#039;ve never had an offer like that. When you play a character it&amp;#039;s a finite thing - you do a couple of episodes, it&amp;#039;s put to bed.   &amp;quot;Then seven or eight years later someone turns around and says, &amp;#039;Do you know what? We&amp;#039;re going to take him and put him in Detroit&amp;#039;. It was too fascinating a thing to let go by.&amp;quot; The star also revealed that he turned to fellow Brits Damian Lewis and Andrew Lincoln to ask about their experiences working away from home on their respective shows Homeland and The Walking Dead. Low Winter Sun begins tonight (August 11) in the US at 10pm on AMC and will air on FOX in the UK on Friday (August 16) at 10pm.
