OLBERMANN: On this date in 1934 was born one of the most underrated actors of our time, Ian Richardson was not only a Shakespearean stage actor to the highest order, but his range was such that he could play Sherlock Holmes and the real life inspiration for Holmes, and the man in the Rolls Royce asking, “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?”

But on television, he gave two startling performances, as the traitor inside British intelligence in “Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy” and as a modern British prime minister more murderous than Macbeth and able to convincingly talk to the audience in the middle of scene after scene in the “House of Cards” trilogy. In it, he offered the same unimprovable answer to every difficult question, “You might very well think so; I could not possibly comment.”

Ian Richardson died in 2007.
