"Michael Sheen's portrayal of Frost also is fantastic but, because a large part of the dramatic tension is supposed to be Nixon's gravitas vs. the innocence and flippancy of Frost, his character is less richly nuanced."

Michael Sheen has played a brilliant second fiddle to Helen Mirren and now to Frank Langella, and I hope he does receive the full recognition that his talent deserves sometime soon on the World stage.

Plenty of awards and nominations in the UK however, and recognised more for his stage work including playing Frost before the film was conceived.

Best Regards,

  One of my very favorite young Brit actors. He'll be starring in Little Dorrit on Masterpiece Theater later this year.
  
  I'm seeing F/N next week - can't wait!
  - Off the top of my head, wasn't he the mature brother in "Death at a Funeral?" - tinear 15:23:17 01/29/09 (1)
    He is very, very good. I think he would have made a smashing Frost, too.
    - Yup, the put upon "dutiful" brother. - Harmonia 20:59:55 01/29/09 (0)
      I loved Death At A Funeral, BTW hilarious. I love the scene where Macfadyen gets his first looksee at dear old dad's daring snaps.
      
      Macfadyen is also Mr. Darcy in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice.
Don't forget to cross the aisle and see him as a werewolf, too. * - mr grits 10:37:16 01/28/09 (2)
