[spoilers] Richard Armitage

[TygerBright]

..could have been his chance to step onto the big stage though. It might not be a Hollywood blockbuster but from what I've read, heard and seen so far it's going to be an excellent film (if all goes to plan).
Not that I'm complaining about seeing more of him on the small screen but it's time to show the world that he's more than just a gorgeous a.. ctor. Some people are just plain TV actors, excellent ones mind, but can't carry it over onto the big screen. He could. I think it's a missed chance.
..that, and the thought that the film might be shown/promoted at the Berlin Film Festival next February.. not being selfish and all that but ...

Agreed he is way more than a gorgeous a......sorry a gorgeous actor....but he doesn't have anything to prove in my book....plenty of time for him to do movies.....I love his TV work SO much.....and I would hate to lose him to Hollywood

[TygerBright]

he has more than once mentioned that he doesn't want to act for the rest of his career but rather direct.. and he strikes me as someone who doesn't just say that because it's fashionable.. I'd like to see him try cinema before he decides to pack it in..

AND you might want to ponder this: If/when he gets his first big screen role there will be way more of him than on your or my small(ish) TV.. just imagine a wide-screen cinema-version boiler suit sort of scene..

I'll leave you to compute the implications

[kirmostar]

ok I'm computing........still computing.......and deep breaths kirmo.......deep breaths......

Computing implications and...

It wasn't my type of film either but I knew he would do a great job with the character + some wider exposure not only to the public (although I'm a bit divided in that matter, not sure if I want to share ) but also with producers and directors who could offer him interesting projects.

awwwh.. so get what you mean but there is enough of him to go around.. and I think we should put "selfish" on hold for a minute or so.. just thinking long-term... for his sake as much as ours..all that untapped potential... he definitely needs exposure (keep breathing kirmo, deep in.. deep out.. and mind the gutter )

What is the plot of Charlie and other incidentals? It may be in another thread but I never did find out.

[JHyde]

I've always thought Armitage is wonderfully thoughtful about the WHOLE production, the entire picture, so I'm not surprised to hear that he's hoping to direct later in life. I really hope that works out for him, much as I will miss him in front of the camera.

Plus, I daresay there is a many a woman who wouldn't mind being told what to do and when by Mr Armitage.

Poor guy probably just blushed somewhere.

[Lizziecaro]

In one of his recent interviews it was hinted that there might be further stories about the Strike Back characters so there might be filming coming up for that which cuts across Charlie's timetable. He is also trying to get a production going about Richard III and it looks as if this is gathering some interest.
