Fingers crossed eh?Emma Newmanhttp://www.enewman.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-39998889767969176902009-07-24T22:43:15.802+01:002009-07-24T22:43:15.802+01:00Mark Addy is one of very few British actors who do...Mark Addy is one of very few British actors who does an American accent which is utterly believable. He was great in the BBC series from the 90s Thin Blue Line, and is just a good, strong actor all around. I'm very pleased most of these castings are of relative unknows, that will suit this story very well.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584021730320434591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-85175080239291585132009-07-21T01:17:44.764+01:002009-07-21T01:17:44.764+01:00Yeah Addy was the fat dude in The Full Monty and d...Yeah Addy was the fat dude in The Full Monty and did that US sitcom "Still Standing" for about 4 years I think.<br /><br />Is that the Harry Lloyd who played Will Scarlett in the Robin Hood TV show and the Jeremy Baines character from Doctor Who?<br /><br />Great news on Bean, he's utterly brilliant and have loved him ever since Patriot Games.Jebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985667608602099242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-23115679877081568612009-07-21T01:06:39.509+01:002009-07-21T01:06:39.509+01:00Mark Addy was also in The Full Monty.

Can't imagine Mark Addy being able to swing around a greatsword that Sean Bean can't handle (as Robert was wont to do), but this gives real credibility to the whole series. Wow. It's actually going to happen.Daniboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822690914953156202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-91874889919180677022009-07-20T18:04:28.199+01:002009-07-20T18:04:28.199+01:00Just a quick note on Mark Addy: I did see A Knight...Just a quick note on Mark Addy: I did see A Knight's Tale all the way through (I know, it was awful, but I was trapped in a hotel room and sadly enough, that movie was the most worthwhile thing on).<br /><br />Addy is a capable actor and did an excellent job with a poorly written role. I don't think he'll disappoint you.<br /><br />TeresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-3113872976144500642009-07-20T14:33:02.379+01:002009-07-20T14:33:02.379+01:00I can't wait for this series to start.

I'm sure it, too, will take forever to come out, but when it does it will knock our socks off (hopefully, and in a good way).logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.com
