@hingehead,
Thanks hingehead, it was driving me crazy, I couldn't find his name in several searches, but now I can put a name to his face. I've seen him before and I think he has a wonderful face and expression, for little and big screen stuff. His performance on Doc Matin was perfect. I know all the Brits, Aussies and Canucks have probably been enjoying him for years. I would like to offer this expression of gratitude for the rebroadcast of so many BBC shows shared with us yanks, especially so for Mr. & Mrs. glitterbag, who have been seduced by the talent of our closest allies. Brava or Bravo to the partners who have shared so much. (Shouting and standing ovation from American audiences).
