I was always a bit angry Nigel Hawthorne didn't get to do 'Shadowlands' - he was the one who made the role in the West End. I like Hopkins but always wished the world got to see him in another dramatic role other than 'The Madness of King George' - which is also magnificent.

He's best known for his comedy, but he was such an amazing actor full stop. It's also comforting that he was in his early fifties when he really started to actually have a career. That's inspiring. Actually a lot of actors I love didn't really crack the big time until they were forty or more.
