Peter Firth

I suspect the truth, as always, lies somewhere in the middle. There must have been times in his career when he wasn't offered much work (else why would he have made "Lifeforce"?!), but these days he can possibly choose to work or not work. He's said that he's not minded to do theatre (too much like hard work, basically). Shame he's not doing more commercial voice-overs, or even appearing in them. Patrick Stewart and Helen Mirren have both made commercials recently. Even Kevin Spacey does commercials. And they certainly don't want for work.

I think PF could have a similar profile to Brian Cox - he seems to be in everything I watch! Character parts, very interesting roles, and a constant profile.
