Not that I know of. The man is a legend. Then again, he is from the city I was born and raised in so I may be biased.

He does have a reputation for dying in almost everything he's in though (although he isn't the most killed actor in Hollywood, that record belongs to John Hurt, I think).

You'll like the accent, I was told he uses the local one.

And the chemistry with harper is hilarious. "Who are we supposed to kill in Yorkshire?" "Englishmen I suppose". "So not all bad then".

The episode in question is Sharpe's Justice.

He uses his own accent in everything. That's why he was never Bond, he refused to drop the accent.

It's a ru ning joke, he's a Greek with a Sheffield accent, a Gondorian with a Yorkshire accent, an American with a Yorkshire accent, Lord of Winter fell with a Yorkshire accent...

No. He was fired because he was a dick. A dick, a dumbass, and an arrogant bigot. Just like Charlie Kirk has a job because he is an arrogant bigot, a dumbass, and a dick.

Only he was making more money than Charlie will probably see in a lifetime. That’s why it matters—that he was a mover and shaker, but he was ascared of people who differed from him.

So he had a tall pedestal to fall from, whereas Charlie’s standing on a toadstool, and nobody gives a shit.

I can't remember, when did he play an American?

I read he determined the accent for the North Kingdoms in GoT by the way he talked.

I’d be happy to show Chuckie Kirk what actual tyranny looks like

Number 2 is what got him into trouble.
