At our 70th anniversary celebration of our club, one of our friends had a picture if herself posing with the actor who plays the hated toe sucking vicar in Poldark. This isnt that picture, but it takes a good actor to change his image like this. And he played Borris Johnson!

The character is completely detestable so I guess well played.

As long as he doesn't meet some of the few people who can't separate the character from the person while walking down the street :D

He also played Tony Blair so he is sort of type cast.

Hang on, hang on! I closed the browser and started drinking my coffee and then your post came back to me! The point is that they wouldn't recognise him! Would they?

Not having a telly I can't judge the acting, but isn't his appearance a tribute to the make-up artist rather than his acting talents?

That is true. But the acting is really convincing, too. And i would never have recognised him as the same bloke in Boris and tony.
