Not sure I've seen Macca as comfortable with any other host.

he was a decent LBJ in Selma and lot's beside but I've already seen him as "fULL mONTY ACTOR.."

"best known for his role in The Full Monty"? What the fuck is going on over there?

The universe has been telling me to rewatch Michael Clayton a lot lately. May this be the final domino effect

A solid actor. I'll vouch for his priapic Benjamin Franklin in John Adams.

― poppers fueled buttsex crescendo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 30 December 2023 17:40 (two years ago)

oh yeah he was fantastic in John Adams. I'd forgotten that was him tbh.

Founding Father as Founding Fuckhound

first saw him in essex boys and he stood out in that sub ritchie romp for me

― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Saturday, 30 December 2023 17:46 (two years ago)

The voice that Tom Wilkinson used for Franklin continues to astonish me: Northamptonshire via Boston, Philadelphia, and London, schoolmasterly, sly, falsely modest. He had to have sounded just like that.

"best known for his role in The Full Monty"? What the fuck is going on over there?

Thankfully (and miraculously) he wasn't in any Harry Potter movies because, in the UK, they take preference over absolutely anything anyone has ever done in the rest of their career.

my memory of his Franklin is that he was so completely suited to the horny decadence in Paris that he blended in seamlessly and grumpy, prudish, self-important J Adams arrival was a total buzzkill. I think that was the part of the series that stuck with me the most.

― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 30 December 2023 18:16 (two years ago)

His IMDb resume is seriously impressive. Long list of quality projects. Besides Sense and Sensibility, my initial role association was Juntao in Rush Hour. He had Alan Rickman range, romantically charming and believably threatening.

Thank calzino for my new screen name

I just need to make a half decent one for myself now!

― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 30 December 2023 19:05 (two years ago)

"completely suited to the horny decadence"

...is the new "addicted to the shindig"

...which was the new "knee-deep in the hoopla"

...which was the new "feelin' groovy."

Change my mind

At first I thought that was old Paul Giamatti sitting next to young Paul Giamatti

in which Tom Wilkinson, in his greatest and perhaps most challenging role, played a mirror.

Richard Romanus -- pretty excellent in Mean Streets as Michael, the too-nice loan shark who's a bit more dangerous than he appears.

Terrific also as the voice of lethal cabby Harry Canyon in the dystopian noir segment of Heavy Metal.

Fantastic in Mean Streets. "Now's the time."

“Frank Sinatra once saved my life,” Greene quipped. “A bunch of guys were beating on me and Frank said, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ ”

Shecky played Christie Lane--a stand-up comedian and a stand-up guy--in what I usually name as my favourite bad movie, The Love Machine.

Sad coincidence of Richard Rampton, the brilliant lead barrister in the Irving v Lipstadt libel case, and Tom Wilkinson, who played him in the movie "Denial", both dying in late December, within days of one another.
