Alfs wrote: 30 Sep 2024, 23:07 One of the most remarkable performances of an actor playing a hard man is Tom Hollander in the Night Manager.  5'5", better known for playing middle class congenial types, like in Rev, it was a truly transformational performance.
He was pretty terrifying as "The Fucker" in The Thick of It as well.
It would be difficult to reprise Corky as the character is dead.

I thought Ian McShane's character in Sexy Beast was scarier than Don Logan. That was real psychopathic menace.

Yes, brilliant as Corky, shame he won't be in the second series.
