Mark Addy

It's like, we can't get John Goodman.

Let's get Mark Addy, that guy from Manchester.

That'll do it.

I mean, it's fine.

So there you go.

Stars Heath Ledger, Paul Bettany, Shannon Sossaman, Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk, Laura Fraser, Rufus Sewell, and others.

And we'll get more to the cast later on.

Shout out the Oscars.

Robert Baratheon.

I'm telling you.

Mark Addy.

Yeah.

Just talking of theatre, I wanted to ask about when you first started acting.

So this was during your school days, also alongside Mark Addy.

And I wanted to know if you still kept in touch and was acting always the ambition for you both from that young age?

Yes, I mean, we started out doing amateur dramatics together in York, and we then both did the North Yorkshire County Youth Theatre together.

I listened to the Victoria Hamilton Barrett episode because I thought she was just fantastic in Paddington.

And I've just started listening to the Mark Addy episode.

I worked with Mark years ago on a TV show called Oasis and I adore him.

I think he's the most wonderful man.

I mean, I'm not saying she's not a great actor, but she is not right for that part.

And neither, I think, is Mark Addy.

for his part as the captain of the spaceship.

That's another really interesting thing, isn't it? They're on a planet where you forget unless you are wearing something to counteract the forgetting.

And nobody cheers.

And then Mark Addy's character goes, "Yeah," and the whole crowd cheers.

The Czech Republic extras didn't know they were supposed to cheer in that moment.

[laughs]

He is.

He's a Mark Addy in the '90s fat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Not a Mark Addy in Game of Thrones, who actually is fat.

Who, no, he's actually fat now.

Yeah.
