Douglas Hodge, and as Grimes in the current DECLINE AND FALL. (He was a terrific Zaza in LE CAGE AUX FOLLES a few years back).
Rory Kinnear, and as the Frankenstein monster in PENNY DREADFUL. (also recently in THE IMITATION GAME, SKYFALL, SPECTRE, and theatre including another HAMLET and THE THREEPENNY OPERA).
Patrick Baladi may have started off playing Nancy in a school production of OLIVER! but is kept busy now, in the current LINE OF DUTY among others - we like him in the STELLA series with Ruth Jones, where he looked good wearing leathers, and he marries a man in Tom Hollander's REV.
Hugh Bonneville, now that he has left the Earl of Grantham behind at DOWNTON ABBEY, seems to be having fun, amusingly dragging up in PADDINGTON (right), and being hilarious in DAVID WALLIAMS & FRIEND, as well as BBC series W1A, and that surprise turn in DA VINCI'S DEMONS. Looking forward to PADDINGTON 2. Daniel Boys, actor and singer, recently seen in the BOYS IN THE BAND revival.
Then of course there's Tom Hollander, and Aidan Turner (POLDARK and handsome! - see Poldark label.)
I certainly agree with you about Hodge. His performance in DECLINE AND FALL, along with that of David Suchet, was one of the great comedy performances on television. I agree was a wonderful Zaza too.
