That performance was brilliant. He outshone every other lead in the rest of The Hollow Crown series, including Rory Kinnear as Bolingbroke, Jeremy Irons as Henry IV, Hiddleston as Prince Hal and Henry V, Tom Sturridge as Henry VI, and Cumberbatch as the worst Richard III I have ever seen. And except for Cumberbatch, the rest of those named were very, very good.

Whishaw plays a guy who targets beautiful virgins to murder and use their vagina fat to make perfume. Would virginal vages smell better than nonvirginal? And do vages on beautiful virgins smell better than those of ugly virgins? Apparently, yes.

We love him, but besides being a fantastic talented actor he's kind of boring in real life?

They had a civil partnership in 2012.
He's a jobbing actor in that he takes on anything. Nothing is too big or too small for him. Considering he's in the James Bond franchise, and he's won BAFTAs and an Emmy (or was it the Golden Globe?) he still does short films that play in film fests and he's still the voice of Paddington for the Nickelodeon series. He'll be in the next season of Fargo for FX and he's doing another BBC series.

He's not handsome, and so he was pretty cruelly miscast as Sebastian Flyte in the awful film version of "Brideshead Revisited."
But he is a singular screen presence, and has been terrific in multiple films and TV projects, including "Bright Star," "A Very English Scandal," and "The Hollow Crown." I will say that he does have a pretty narrow range (he's always playing anxious artsy types), but within that range he is superb.

Wishaw's Richard II (and that entire production) was my first exposure to the play and I fell for it big time. The incredible poetry, the "this happy breed" speech (among many), the resonant garden scene...an embarrassment of riches...I subsequently saw the David Tennant production, which, but for its superb incidental musical score, didn't have the same impact. I'm curious to see the Fiona Shaw film which is currently on Prime, I believe.

R65 The movie is terrible (but the trailer is fantastic).
Cloud atlas was not made for being a film, it's too complex to translate well into a film. Even a tv show will have problems to adapt. The estructure of the novel, six linked stories (narrated till the middle of the story before going to the next one and going back in inverse order till end in the first story) is not the easies to make it easy to follow when you put that on images.
But even after reading the novel the film is extremelly confusing

Cloud Atlas: I've read the book right before the movie came out and saw the movie maybe two weeks after finishing - and actually loved both. Books and movies are different medias and can (and should and need to) tell stories differently.
My most favorite roles of Ben Wishaw are London spy (probably totally underrated) and Q in James Bond/Skyfall. Just love him.

Whishaw is a terrific actor, but handsome he is not. And way too skinny for my taste.

He's apparent;y a great example of 'One man's meat is another man's poison.'
I think he's a refreshing change from the group of popular actors his age that, to me, all are starting to look interchangeable.
He doesn't look like anyone else out there. To some of us, that's an advantage.

He is not everybody's cup of tea in terms of looks but he is a perfect example of the kind of career an openly gay actor can have if he has talent

You're right, R105 he does look as though he belongs in Darfur.
He reminds me of that other PAINFULLY skinny, weedy Brit named Tom Courtenay who infected his pained presence in Brit movies 50 years ago.
I assume he attracts people who want to mother him, protect him and feed him because he looks as though he definitely needs it.
by Anonymous | reply 171 | July 31, 2020 11:56 PM |
He's more McKellen than Courtenay, though Courtenay's steady sixty-year career, 3 BAFTAs and many other awards/nominations seem to remedy whatever infection lurked.

I saw The Crucible, Whishaw was good, as was Saorsie -- it was the staging that was all wrong. Ivo van Hove's showy shtick can really get in his own way sometimes. He never gave us any reason for setting it in a schoolhouse with everybody in uniforms, it was distracting

The year he won his Golden Globe or Emmy for "An English Scandal" there were rumors that he and his partner broke up, but he thanked him during the speech. Now in The Times interview are hints that there were problems in the relationship.
I tell him about an Instagram live show I did called Love in the Time of Corona, about the problems when the dynamics of relationships suddenly changed and people couldn’t get away from each other. The divorce rate went up. “Yes,” he nods sagely.
Did he survive? “Yes, I’ve survived, but I’m not going to talk about it.” There is no point in meandering around how the dynamic of Whishaw and his partner might have changed – he just looks too done in to talk about it.

No question he is a talented actor. He was great in "Spectre" as Q and thank God they let him out of the office for once. But he never has appealed to me sexually. He looks to me like someone who has trouble smiling. And IMHO he's way to pale and skinny.

R207 - The entire remake of "Brideshead" was dismal, but as talented as Whishaw is (and after seeing his Richard II talent is an understatement), following in the footsteps of Anthony Andrews in the part can't have done him any favours.
In a formidable cast lineup, Andrews, who is quite slight himself but with a surprisingly deep, luscious voce and quite a bit more "beautiful" than Whishaw, simply walked off with the piece.
Factoid: the young actress who played Cordelia wasn't as young as all that, as she ended up married to the director, Charles Sturridge.
Their son, Tom, went on to play Henry VI very creditably in The Hollow Crown series in which Whishaw made such a splash as Richard II.
