a future leader perhaps?

He is brilliant. Fantastic Bliar and fantastic Brian Clough. He morphs into them. Totally amazing actor.

He has been at several south Wales events recently. I had wondered why...

I would assume Labour, but I wonder would he go for Plaid at all? Their leader Leanne Wood has tweeted congratulating him on his decision.

I agree it will be a loss to the acting world if he quits entirely - he's a very talented actor.

He tweeted this earlier.

Before this gets ridiculous I said I'm thinking I might start acting less and maybe even stop for a while at some point but don't know yet.

Hmm, apparently he's tweeted

Oh dear. Stuck with Kinnock jr then.

I bleddy well adore this man.

What about 'Masters of Sex' though? Really good show and he is brilliant in it. I thought there were a few series left in it, but it looks like it could be shelved now

I have he will still be acting, Best!

The cynic in me suggests that this is a fabulous way to get publicity, when in fact he might have just split up from his girlfriend, had enough of LA and decided to move home for a bit.

Quitting acting to sort out politics sounds way better!

I still love him. My aunt lived in Aberavon and we used to go for our summer holidays. Fabulous people.

Finally an actor with a political opinion.

Oh I loved him in Masters of Sex.

Masters of Sex was cancelled a month or so ago. Season 4 (which very recently ended its run in the US) will be the last, disappointingly. S4 won't be shown on UK television so I'm holding out for the DVD. Great series.

I wonder what would happen if Sheen stood as an indie against Stephen Kinnock in Aberavon. I always thought it was a cheek that Labour parachuted a Kinnock into that safe seat. How vocal and dynamic was he about Tata, I wonder. If the answer is "he wasn't" (and I genuinely don't know the answer) then he could be vulnerable I suppose.

I like him too, but according to this, the information is wrong:
