'Before They Were Famous'


I know this adaptation is only a few years old, but it is interesting to see what some of the actors who were lesser known at the time have gone on to have done. A lot of this great cast have gone on to do quite well, and the signs seem to be they could do even better.

Sophia Myles in particular seems to be doing well now, as does James D'Arcy. Lee Ingleby seems to be doing a fair bit of high profile stuff nowadays (Life On Mars, Wind In The Willows etc), and most surprisingly of all Debbie Chazen is doing Tittybangbang! When I saw that show I knew I recognised her from somewhere.

Definately! Sophia Myles is doing alot for the BBC: Doctor Who, ['apparently' being the partner of David Tennant] Dracula, and Extras. Plus, both James D'Arcy and Lee Ingleby had roles in Master and Commander.

Although I still think that Lee Ingleby is underrated, his part in Geoge Gently was marvellous! ;)

Oh. I was hoping for a philosophical debate; is that all I'm gonna get?

JJ Feild was in this too! (He was Frank Cheeryble) I've become a big fan of his since watching this adaptation, I loved 'The Secret Life of Mrs. Beeton.'
