To think David Morrissey is overrated?

I've seen him in a few things but don't think he's very good. E.g. The Missing at the moment.

Everyone else seems to love him.

I love him. Brilliant actor. And I totally would.Grin

LtEsmeHansard · 10/11/2016 00:31

I love him. He was so perfect as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility, that's when I first started rating him.

OhBlissOhJoy · 10/11/2016 00:34

I've had a crush on him since he was in "One Summer" in 1983. So 30+ years. I'll fight all of yous for him.

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 10/11/2016 00:36

he is the same character in pretty much everything :)

polyhymnia · 10/11/2016 00:39

I absolutely love him and think he's a very good actor, though am not watching the Missing.

polyhymnia · 10/11/2016 00:40

Was fab in Blackpool alongside David Tennant.

He was in a drama a few year's back called Five Days with Suranne Jones as one of his police colleagues. At one point his character says to hers in a pub, after an intense conversation, and even more intense lingering gaze: "I suppose a fuck's out of the question?"

Talk about fanny gallops and no, it wasn't out of the question.

If you'd seen that scene you'd not be posting your OP Wink Grin.

MargotLovedTom · 10/11/2016 00:44

Oh, and I think he's a good actor as well....

CozyAutumn · 10/11/2016 01:14

I don't like him because of his horrible character in The Walking Dead. But I guess that shows how good of an actor he is! Smile

I thought I might be. Thanks furlined he's even the same character when he's playing himself.

But in the spirit of AIBU I'll have to concede that AIBU.

Or IABU. Blimmin' autocorrect. I still don't get it though. I think he's really wooden

I really like him.

AlchemySchmidtsSmile · 10/11/2016 02:07

He was fab in a Tardis special but he was utterly brilliant in State of Play

e1y1 · 10/11/2016 02:13

Who is he?

e1y1 · 10/11/2016 02:14

Nope, never heard of him.

alltoomuchrightnow · 10/11/2016 02:20

Oh I love him and fancy the arse off him e.g. Hilary and Jackie, also that Love series,.,

EverySongbirdSays · 10/11/2016 03:23

How very dare you indeed I have loved him ever since the series about a doctors wife who was unhappy in her marriage and had it away with the window cleaner - YES, he was the window cleaner

Greengoddess12 · 10/11/2016 06:43

fanny gallops Grin

Yes I would

Chickydoo · 10/11/2016 06:45

Not my cup of tea at all

YvaineStormhold · 10/11/2016 06:47

Wooden as a fencepost.

AnyFucker · 10/11/2016 06:50

Yep, wooden

Gatekeeper · 10/11/2016 06:54

Laughed like hell at fanny gallops

Agree with Alchemy re State of Play which has to be one of the best things I've ever seen on telly ever

NoahVale · 10/11/2016 06:56

He voices the slightly weird razor ad.
