I'm just curious - how popular is he in Britain?

Is he generally considered to be a huge talent over there?

It struck me while watching F/N that he has recently been in some productions that are filled with top-notch performances (many Oscar-nominated) - F/N, The Queen, Blood Diamond - but he's always in the background.

Responses:

He can probably walk down the street unhassled, we just can't work out why he can't get an AA nomination as he's a bloody good actor. -- nm - LMS Feb 27, 07:32 7
- I wonder as well - he is awesome - maybe it is just a matter of time? short time hopefully -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 27, 07:41 1
  - Well his next great performance is as Brian Clough in The Damned United, but not sure a film about English football will get a US release. - LMS Feb 27, 07:49
- Yeah, I think he has had some great performances. -- nm - kelly Feb 27, 07:36 4
  - looking over his IMDB resume - holy crap, I hadn't heard anything about an Alice in Wonderland movie. - kelly Feb 27, 07:40 3
    - do we like him for that role? I was hoping for Mad Hatter but JDEPP is good as well. -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 27, 07:43 2
      - Yeah, I do. I think Depp will be perfect as the Mad Hatter. Can't wait to see Rickman as the Caterpillar, I love that guy. - kelly Feb 27, 07:49 1
        
        Tim Burton presented an award to The Cure the other night - the article explains a lot. -- (link) - LMS Feb 27, 07:54
