[spoilers] Richard Armitage

I saw an article (sorry did not save the link) wherein Martin Freeman says he is getting a hiatus to film the new series of Sherlock. I see no reason why Jackson cannot schedule filming to allow RA to do likewise. There is really no profit in announcing anything about the cast for Spooks at this point.

Also, they need to stop hyping Richard as heart-throb, hunk, stud, etc. They need to just continue casting him and let nature take its course. When I don't know an actor and the hype precedes them, along with a photo which does them no justice, I always think "what are they on about?" He needs to be seen in action, showing his great presence to be fully appreciated. I would just say "Richard Armitage from North and South and Spooks has been cast." Then all interested will have a look and make their decisions, and we all know what happened to us.
