Yes, he is another who crossed the pond VERY successfully. He was brilliant as the menacing Soames Forsyte in the British production of “The Forsyte Saga.” Then he was brilliant as the American prisoner of war turned terrorist in “Homeland.” His British actress wife, Helen McGory, died recently of cancer.

Rufus Sewell and Idris Elba are two other Brits we see a lot here in U.S.productions. I was shocked to learn the elegant drug dealer in The Wire, Stringer Bell, was played by the English guy Elba.
