I disagree, “acting” is the key word here. If every role had to be the actual “type” of person, there would be no room for creativity, such as a woman playing Hamlet, etc. It’s great that there happened to be an actor who was also neurodivergent, but to make it a rule would not be useful.
What a great actor and seems like such a kind man.
I love him he's brilliant x
@lindseysowden5409 i still call Mark chalky because of his character in Waterloo Road
Proper actors ADAPT and don't need characters made for them.
True
Adore him. And he is simply brilliant as Mam - completely authentic.(despite him being a straight man)
