I've not watched a huge amount of him before, but I can't be alone in thinking he's awesome in this?

He's really, really good in most things I've seen him in. He terrified me in Cracker!

cameocat · 24/01/2021 19:25

He is a fantastic actor.

He’s amazing.

Watch The Unloved on You tube - it’s a film about an abused child going through the care system, directed and written by Samantha Morton. He plays the abusive dad. He’s terrifying and brilliant in it.

He is by far the best actor in once upon a time.

I always remember him as the actor in full monty.

He's awesome. I love most films he's in, and also enjoyed him in the series Hamish McBeth.

He's fairly small of stature but has enormous talent.

devildeepbluesea · 24/01/2021 19:47

I adore him, always have. Had such a crush on him in the 90s still have

Thorilicious · 24/01/2021 20:14

I'd forgotten Hamish Macbeth, used to love it when I was younger.

I'd forgotten Hamish Macbeth too!

Part of his absolute talent is that he is so versatile. He can play truly evil as well as likeable characters, probably why he does so well in Once Upon A Time because he goes back and forth a few times.

TheLuckiest · 25/01/2021 19:37

He is brilliant. His performance in Cracker in the 90s was stunningly good.

And I can further tell you from first-hand experience that he is a truly lovely, generous and humble fella too. Smile
Although he really IS incredibly tiny and wee!!

Awesome in Ravenous!

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 25/01/2021 19:41

Hes amazing! So underrated I think. "Magic always comes at a price deerie" is said far more often in our house than most people would believe possible.

lifeafternext · 25/01/2021 19:43

I love him. Honestly I think he is one of the most underrated actors in existence.

He's fantastic in OUAT and actually the reason I watched it 😂 kinda fancied him, scales and all.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 25/01/2021 19:46

I liked him in COBRA, which turned out to be eerily prescient.

AmberItsACertainty · 25/01/2021 19:52

I like him too. The 51st State is funny.

Sideorderofchips · 25/01/2021 19:56

He is brilliant in anything really. Bit like Alan Rickman was

Sideorderofchips · 25/01/2021 19:56

And as for OUAT I would definitely go off with Hook

JumpLeadsForTwo · 25/01/2021 20:05

I agree, brilliant in everything he did. That cracker episode has stayed with me from my teenage years. I don't fancy many actors, but he has some charisma in Once upon a time!!

seriousandloyal · 25/01/2021 20:10

Another fan here, I think he is a brilliant actor.
