Have we had Don Cheadle in Ocean's Eleven yet? And how about Denzel Washington in For Queen And Country (and The Mighty Quinn for that matter)?

Jared Harris, whatever he's playing. He does a kind of rough londony slightly jafaican thing. Red-trousered posho on the isle of Wight, rebel leader on Ceres in the future, ship's captain in the snow (he did try to be irish there tbf but o well), anything really. I like him in things but he can't do accents for shit
