Scarlett45 December 30, 2020 Share December 30, 2020 Where have see we seen this gorgeous and talented cast before? Regé-Jean Page- the first big USA role I recall seeing him in was Chicken George in the 2016 remake of Roots (which was excellent by the way, I knew the makeup artists were going to win awards for the aging makeup)- Chicken George is one of the most emotional complex black male characters in US literature/film, and Regé-Jean BROUGHT IT- the vulnerability, the anger, the flamboyance, the determination, the fear, all of it. He has star power. (in addition to being handsome, but I dont lust after him because he looks like my cousins and thats just weird) Golda Rosheuvel- I saw her in as Agnes in Lady Macbeth (that film didnt get much buzz but was creepy AF to me). Seems a large part of this cast has done stage work. Is anyone else familiar with other work from these actors. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114146-seen-on-the-promenade-cast-in-other-roles/

Door County Cherry December 30, 2020 Share December 30, 2020 Polly Walker has been in a ton of things but I remember her most from Rome. Jonathan Bailey (Anthony) was in Broadchurch as Olly. I think he was a reporter. He was in Chewing Gum for an episode. There was a short adventure series called Hooten and the Lady that aired on the CW. He played the fiance. But my favorite role of his was as Sam in Crashing. Crashing was Phoebe Waller-Bridge's first series. He played a seemingly straight guy who becomes close friends with a gay guy sharing a living space with other adults. He develops feelings that may go beyond friendship. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114146-seen-on-the-promenade-cast-in-other-roles/#findComment-6524109

Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne) is the daughter of actress Sally Dynevor, who is a 'lifer' on the soap opera Coronation Street.

It's like the whole 50 shades thing all over again--although I liked this better. And it's not just because SNL will do the expected but because every time I've seen an interview with the cast but especially with Rege, that has been the angle they've taken.
