I'm sorry, I've liked him ever since he stole most of the emotional poignancy of Stardust (2007) for me in literally three minutes, I can only commend him to your attention.

Well, I seem to be failing at avoiding him lately! I actually had an opposite experience of him years ago, when I tried to watch a random episode of a bunch of detective shows for reasons, including an ep of Inspector Lynley & was so unimpressed with it, I thought he couldn't even act (!), so I have been actively skirting round him ever since, but as he literally came as a pair with Jeremy Northam in at least two of the things I watched this year, I got forced to re-evaluate and find out I had been wrong! I randomly & belatedly watched Stardust in the summer as well, and yes, I was also much more concerned about what happened to him than I was about anybody's else's fate (much as I enjoyed it the whole thing.)

Although, now that I think about it, I think he was the lead in the BBC Radio SNT adaptation of Faro's Daughter I listened to a while ago, when I first went through them for Martin Jarvis, and I thought oh he'll be ok at that anyway, and he was v good actually. I'm sure that was him, but I'd forgotten till typing this.

Anyway, yes. I stand corrected! I'm not at the point of seeking him out yet, but I have fully eaten my can't-even-act words several times over already. Turns out I just wasn't keen on Inspector Lynley!
