Couldn't say I really knew the name until I imdb-ed him. He's a pretty good actor if he stays in an element. My guess is he'd be a great Lestrade if he is mostly annoyed by Sherlock.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many episodes are in this arc with Lestrade, Mycroft etc. Can't wait for season 2!!!
ReplyDeleteI think he is a great actor and his Dad was one of my favourite Doctor Whos, actually he was the first I really remember so he holds a special place in my heart!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the amazing casting diretor strikes again. It seems like a nice, solid choice.
ReplyDeleteLestrade and Gregson must share some screen time!
