RE: Spooks Actors--former projects thread
Keeley is very good in the Boots ads!!

I have also refallen in love with North and South again, and my DVD player is probably ready to blow up if I play it any more......

Lucas North: Your situation is more precarious than you realize, Connie, so stop pressing buttons and give us something.
Connie James: Threats don't work with a person who has nothing to lose.
Lucas North: Oh, you're too ingenious to think that I'm threatening you. I'm offering you a simple choice: help us or don't. I'll leave you to compute the implication.Cool

Lucas RE: Spooks Actors--former projects thread
RA in anything at all
Keeley Hawes in Tipping the Velvet
Rupert Penry Jones was brilliant as Hannay in The 39 Steps, total thriller
Loved Hermione Norris in Cold Feet (also featuring RA in THOSE trunks)
and Matthew McFadyen in Pride and Prejudice

to name but a few

I will need to look out Peter Firth in Equus, it's a play I've read but never watched....

Kirmostar, Equus is on You Tube in about 12 parts. That's where I watched it. I've talked about it a little on the Peter Firth Thread. It's not for the faint hearted.

RE: Spooks Actors--former projects thread
I've never watched much of Cold Feet, despite being a massive fan of both Jimmy Nesbitt and HN. It's that irritatingly naff kind of British comedy/drama that drives me mad, masquerading as real life.

I did flick it on the other night as it's getting re-runs here and I wanted to see what HN looked like in her early thirties. I actually reckon she looks better now, and not just because the episode in question was from the late 90s. Jimmy Nesbitt looks better too. He's a foetus face in Cold Feet.

What's Wire In The Blood like? That's the other thing of HN's I haven't see before.

I did enjoy Wire in the blood, I have to say though, I have not seen it for a long long time now!!

Try to see Macfadyen in The Way We Live Now. It's different from anything else I've seen him in and I'd call him brilliant in it. If anyone sees it, let me know if you agree.

Rooftop scene:
Beth and Dmitri sneak up and disarm Lucas, cuff him and lead him away.
Lucas screams, "No Harry please, I'd rather die!"

Harry: "We're sending you to rehab ................. in Texas."

I was going to mention Cillian because I remembered someone had a crush on him. He is very good in this. Unfortunately one of his love interests is kind of a Sarah type failure, accent wise but it's hard to tell. She could be a bad actress too.

Cillian is prominent in this. Put in on soon. You will love it.

I clicked "report post" while I was trying to quote, closed the box so I hope nothing happens.

RE: Spooks Actors--former projects thread
Just watched Keeley in Mutual Friends and I thought she was amazing in it! I didn't know whether to hate or feel sorry for a character but it was very well portrayed and she did comic and emotional scenes equally good! I really rate her has an actress now Big Grin

As for MM as Darcey, I loved it! Me and my Mum constantly argue because I think he was better than Colin Firth! He brought more of a like socially awkward side to him, more sensitive in a way and I liked that Tongue

RE: Spooks Actors--former projects thread
I borrowed Under the Greenwood Tree and North & South from my local library a couple of months ago, and absolutely loved them both. I now own both on DVD Tongue

Oh and I also loved MM as Mr Darcy, and I got Persuasion with RPJ for Christmas, but I've not yet managed to find time to watch it Sad
