He's getting more and more popular in roles. But i always find i have to double take on him. I rarely recognise him instantly. In Layer Cake i didn't recognise him and he looked completely different in Rock 'N' Rolla. He's a fantastic actor, must be one of the most under rated. Can play such different roles and be completely convincing. Starring in Martina Coles The Take i can't think of many examples where an actor suits his role so well. Can't imagine anyone else able to portray the part as well.

Yes he's very good. I am yet to see the Bronson film but it looks good from the trailer. Let's hope though that he doesn't become typecast as a gangster/criminal/nutter in films. From Rock 'n' Rolla I think Toby Kebbell is also a great young actor. He was the younger brother in Dead Man's Shoes and played a great character in Control (Joy Division film).

I'll be getting Bronson soon, looks a good movie. Not seen a bad role played by him yet.

And fully aggree with what you say about Kebbell. If i hadn't seen Dead Mans Shoes after Rock N Rolla i wouldn't have known if he had a real mental disorder or not. I hope he gets the role of Gormley in The Gypsy King.

Let's not forget the other side of his acting credits as Preator Shinzon in Star Trek Nemesis. He's also been in band of Brother, Black Hawk down etc.

Agree with op, bloody good actor
