kieyra April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 Well, this thread motivated me to do something I'd been meaning to do, which was find out why Lady Rochford looks so familiar ... Gobsmacked to realize it's Jessica Raine, aka Nurse Jenny Lee, the original lead of Call the Midwife. I cannot believe I blanked on that one. I only know Claire Foy from the miniseries of Going Postal, the bestseller by the late great Terry Pratchett. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25223-life-away-from-court-the-cast-in-other-roles/#findComment-1052816
duVerre April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 (edited) I only know Claire Foy from the miniseries of Going Postal, the bestseller by the late great Terry Pratchett. I know her from playing the title role of "Little Dorrit." I love the book, but I don't love Amy Dorrit as a character on the page. In Dickens' prose, she's a saccharine little mouse. Foy made her a mouse with a spine of steel. I recently saw Anton Lesser (Thomas More) play a BBC producer on "The Hour." A very quiet performance that built to a really shattering moment.

When I first saw Thomas More, I remembered him as the Chief Superintendent on Endeavour, the series about the early years of Inspector Morse. It's the voice -- I recognized that whiny little voice immediately. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25223-life-away-from-court-the-cast-in-other-roles/#findComment-1053859

M. Darcy April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 Ed Speleers who plays Edward Seymour also was in Downton Abbey playing Jimmy Kent. Alastair Mackenzie (William Brereton) is probably best know (at least to me) for playing Archie MacDonald on Monarch of the Glen.

LeighAnne April 26, 2015 Share April 26, 2015 (edited) There were two filmed versions of Philippa Gregory's book The Other Boleyn Girl: a TV version with Natascha McElhone as Mary Boleyn and Jodhi May as Anne Boleyn, and a theatrical movie version with Scarlett Johansson as Mary Boleyn and Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn. In the Johansson/Portman version, Mark Rylance plays Thomas Boleyn, their father. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch plays William Carey (Mary's first husband) and Eddie Redmayne plays William Stafford (Mary's second husband).

Eegah April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 Anton Lesser plays Qyburn. Rather an odd experience going straight from GoT to this the past three weeks. Damien Lewis is perhaps best known as Major Richard Winters in HBO's Band of Brothers. I'm half-convinced the scene in episode 1 where he's informed that Normandy would be a good location for a military base in France was a reference to that.

CherryMalotte April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 I freaking love Damian Lewis - from BoB but The Forsyte Saga as well.

Surely these days he's best known for the role that won him a Best Actor Emmy - the lead on Homeland.

Eegah April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 Basically, GoT just has so freaking many actors in it that odds are you'll find a ton of them working together elsewhere. Lewis was also the star of Life, a pretty great cop show that was sadly killed by the 2007 writer's strike. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25223-life-away-from-court-the-cast-in-other-roles/#findComment-1090522

Band of Brothers, the title, is a reference to the invasion of France by Henry V, "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers! For he who sheds his blood this day with me shall be my brother, be he ever so vile, this day shall gentle his condition!" It's all rather circular, these story lines. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25223-life-away-from-court-the-cast-in-other-roles/#findComment-1621637
