[does Mags at Austenblog know this?!] - he was fabulous in Pettigrew, the perfect creepy boyfriend. On first viewing Emma years ago, I did not like him as Knightley - thought him too harsh, almost cruel (perhaps why he plays such a bad guy so well!) -but on subsequent viewings he has grown on meDebhttp://janeausteninvermont.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-80245926915872312922009-05-08T12:07:00.000-04:002009-05-08T12:07:00.000-04:00I've been a fan of his for awhile now and he is su...I've been a fan of his for awhile now and he is such talented actor, happy he is getting the notice he deserves !Nonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227580166409342214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-78985574623778834972009-05-08T11:39:00.000-04:002009-05-08T11:39:00.000-04:00I too love Mark Strong!

Sometimes Austen heroes are cast as rather wimpy, but he has real strength combined with sensitivity. <br /><br />He makes any film better. He was great in "Body in Lies" and I think he'll be marvelous in Sherlock Holmes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-63320152125231607342009-05-08T11:01:00.000-04:002009-05-08T11:01:00.000-04:00Good investigation!

And I can't wait for <I>Sherlock Holmes</I>.<br /><br />I was the most surprised to find him in Danny Boyle's <I>Sunshine</I>. He played the last act villain, Pinbacker. (And if his name hadn't been in the credits I would have never, EVER guessed it.)<br /><br />And yes! <I>Miss Pettigrew</I>!

At the time, it'd been a while since I'd watched Emma, so I was shocked to realize Septimus was also Mr. Knightley! I also enjoyed seeing him in the film Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. I'm really looking forward to Sherlock Holmes, and Young Victoria - do you have any info on when Victoria might open in the US?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-44580629140506028192009-05-08T07:30:00.000-04:002009-05-08T07:30:00.000-04:00I love Mark Strong!
