TRANSCRIPT:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause

1. I saw this on Reddit.

Beautiful, breathtaking piece of acting.

2. in the 70s

I saw Christopher Walken do Hamlet and wear a gold suit.... that was different, of course he was a nobody then.

3. Andrew Scott

is a phenomenal actor..a treasure

[csziggy]

4. He is wonderful

But unfortunately I will always see him as Moriarty (in Sherlock). He was SOOOOO good at being evil in that role.

5. True but once you see him in Denial

as Anthony Julius you'll forget Moriarty...and he'll grab your heart in The Beautiful Fantastic..

6. I'll have to look for those - thanks! nt

7. He was good in Pride too

Great movie about an 80s alliance between LGBT activists and striking Welsh coal miners.

You get to see both him and Imelda Staunton, who played Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter movies, playing lovable characters.
