Do you like Paul Giamatti? Tell us about it in the comments!
Paul was in the Christmas Special for the 4th Season, Taking place in the summer of 1923, during Rose and Madeleine’s coming out ceremonies. Paul and Poppy Drayton have chemistry, age difference aside! Other than that, his character didn’t have much of point.
Loved him in John Adams.
You forgot him as King John in Ironclad! I love that movie, but it’s so overlooked. So many great actors, including James Purefoy! in armour! What’s not to love???
He really embodied the nature of King John. The costumes also wore him which suited John’s personality.
Not a Frock Flick, but I loved him (and Clive Owen, RAWR) in Shoot ‘Em Up. There may be too much Sax & Violins for some people, but I thought it was hilarious. :)
Giamatti as a medieval king? I must see this.
