>>110 Maybe he EMOTED...a...PLANK. Or Emoted A PLank. :)

I'm always aware of actors acting. I have problems with pausing reality. Of the current crop of British thesps, only Rylance and Lesser are able to make me believe they are their characters. Coincidence that they aren't 'overexposed' like so many others? Don't think so.

Knowing a little about military hardware, any chance I had of suspending disbelief disappeared when I saw the 'purchase order' in ep. 1. Ordering a few D-5s are we? Suuuuure...bullshit. Still, I liked the show. It wasn't the caliber of TPvOJ but that wasn't TH's fault. As I wrote in my reviews, he wasn't convincing as a tough guy. His fight outside the pub was not fear-inducing. I blame writing and directing as much as acting; all three struck the wrong tone. His scene with the drug dealer was better. He's more believable as a menacing, quiet tough guy than a breaking things and punching people tough guy. Same with OC's 'skewer them' scene in the hotel. She's a great actress, but that scene was off.

For me TH's most convincing role has probably been as Edward in Archipelago. Maybe because he's as messed up, uncertain and desperate as Edward. Shit was that movie boring though.
