Apparently 10 years ago on this day I first started blathering about the brilliance of Tom Hollander, here killing it in Freezing before creating and starring in the fantastic Rev a few years earlier. I love this guy so much he's just one role away from being considered for the Xmastime Hall of Fame!! (Stay by your phone, Tom Hollander!) Do yourself a favor and watch all three episodes of Freezing on YouTube!
BONUS: at the time I had no idea the blowhard in the scene was played by Blackadder's own Tim McInnerny 🤗
Scene-Stealing Character du Jour
I stumbled upon Freezing, a short-lived BBC series from a coupla years ago, squealing with glee because both the Lord and Lady of Downton Abbey were in it, but the entire series was quickly stolen by their agent friend Leon, a funnier Ari Gold - he doesn't even say a word in the first minute and a half in the scene below, but still steals it with his looks. Last seen by me in the HBO John Adams mini-series as the uber-creepy King George III.. Everything he said and every look he gave was hysterical. Highly recommended!
