eddie marsan's one of the very few male actors i'd make an effort to watch these days. i like the fact you can never tell what sort of role he's going to pop up in (tho i haven't watched him in the likes of tyrannosaur because those films are too full on for me now) and i admire the way, like any great character actor, he lets himself get swallowed up by the role, so you can really watch the craft of acting.
so i was happy to read this interview in the observer (i'm not sure i've ever read/seen him interviewed before). of course he's an actor so it could all be total nonsense but i like his commitment to decency, the need for working class actors and his cinnection to the people he grew up with.
