… was just on the radio advertising “Armed Forces” day.

I actually said “Oh, bugger off you professional cockney irritant and go and get some acting lessons” out loud.

I may be developing an intolerance of actors. Or Ray Winston. Or cockernees.

IGMC now…

I concur. IMHO he was the worst host of HIGNFY for many many many years. Just embarrassing.

He visits the injured troops in hospital – my Forces wife didn’t know who he was at first 😀

Wopster – are you sure its not just that you get slightly uncomfortable with the feelings you get when you see him in his budgie-smugglers?

😆

He’s become a parody of himself.

Well, you’re the one who thought of it, binners old boy.

Glad it’s not just me. Can’t stand the guy.

Cringeworthy in The Departed

“This is America. If you can’t make money here you’re a faaaking douchebag” 😳

Couldn’t agree more. Saw him on HIGNFY and thought it was Uncle Albert.

Can’t agree more

A lot of people seem to confuse good acting with shouting

I take it you saw the Brian Blessed HIGNFY as well then?

In The Sweeney he is ridiculous. Totally unbelievable. Not a great film anyway tbh.

He is becoming a down market Danny Dyer …. Says it all..
Kerry Katona has more kudos!

Crap on hignfy.
In scum, great.

Armed Forces Day summons a similar rage in me, I completely get it.

He’s quality in Sexy Beast. Credit where it’s due. Though eclipsed by Ben Kingsley, obviously.

what I can’t work it is how he takes himself – does he take himself seriously, or does he realise he’s a bit of a gimmick?

Both good performances, Ben Kingsley plays an excellent psycho.

Steady on.

I liked Winstone before he signed-up to sully the memory of the greatest police show of all time.

I don’t care for him particularly now, but we all have to earn a living.
