>>777 I feel for him, I really do. He picked three interesting and varied projects for 2014 and none of them quite came off. HR will presumably be eligible for BAFTA, Oscars etc this coming year though, due to the March release date.

It may be that ironically TNM and the BBC will make him a truly household name here and in the States - as tv shows did for so many over the last decade or so, eg John Hamm, Damian Lewis and earlier people like Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Laurie. It really is where so much creativity has been in recent years.
