He's someone to be pointed at and laughed at. I'd never heard of him until this thread. Let him crack on with his absurd nonsense tbh. Yes, the fact he gets gigs like question time is a very poor reflection of the BBC, but that's been true for years now. Their absurd idea of 'balance'. Possibly the greatest effect of his latest idiocy is that more people now know about the Sikhs who fought in WW1.
Bit strong no?
He is primarily a London stage actor and while I haven’t seen him on stage myself, by all accounts he is good at his job. Please don’t take that as an excuse for his repugnant views, but it’s often a convenient narrative that artists who are awful people can’t really posses any talent. I’ve known enough actors to have learned that acting talent and a pleasant personality don’t necessarily go together.
Never heard of the bloke before this me.
But pimps the very existence of his Mixed ethnicity relatives as evidence of his 'tolerance'. Says it all IMO.
Twitter tells me he hasn't had the balls to engage or defend getting his arse well and truly handed back to him on this point. Hopefully we''ll get a bit more winter sunshine over the next few weeks and he'll dry back up. Chances are Piss Morgan will platform him just in case though. The best insult i've seen today described him as a 'vagina dehydrator'
Contrivved. A career move. He's calling people 'cucks' today too.
I think it was appropriate given the repeated attempts to shut down the debate just because a poster didn't like it.
We foxes have to stick together.
In his tv series he comes across as the 'woke' detective who goes off to work in eastern european country in his holiday to paint some deserving christian wall or other
turns out to be a right wing cunt

Acting families and dynasties are common. If your parents are famous actors it certainly gets you a foot in the door but if you have no talent, your career isn't going far.
Thanks for the information, but I already wrote a post on why that is, a couple of pages back. The main reason the same as why most people who go to university come from privileged backgrounds, studying acting is expensive. Even audition for acting schools costs money.
There are a few more like Anne-Marie Duff, James McAvoy, Dev Patel and Daniel Kaluuya, but the main reason why there are so few working class actors now is because studying acting somewhere like RADA is expensive, it’s like going to university. It’s a matter of cutting grants, etc, which older working class actors still benefited from. . On the whole a classical acting training is still required here and it gives British actors a versatility US actors often lack. That’s why you see so many British actors getting cast in US movies and TV.
Why does British theatre leave working-class actors waiting in the wings?
Poorer drama students face an uphill struggle, with funding cuts and rising fees. But British theatre may be the loser unless more actors from a range of backgrounds take centre stagewww.theguardian.com
