Last week we featured some of Pip Torrens’ work from the first 20 years of his career, but there was so much there (seriously, he gets my vote for hardest working man on film), I had to split it into two sections. So, today we look at the second 20 years of Pip Torrens’ frock flick career to date. As with last week, some films will be missing from this list because I was unable to find images of him in them online, which is always a risk when you have a prolific character actor who takes a lot of smaller roles. That said, what I was able to find, I included here for your enjoyment!

Doctor Who: The Family of Blood & Human Nature (2007)
Miss Austen Regrets (2007)

What’s your favorite Pip Torrens historical role?
There is also the Crown (2018-18), where he plays the uptight and redoutable Queen’s secretary during the first two seasons.
Versailles
The look on his face in the Versailles photo is priceless.
I was binging the UK version of Law and Order and Pip (we’re obv on first name basis) shows up repeatedly for the defense.
He’s one of those rare men who are even better looking bald than with hair. Lucky for him and lucky for us.
In this batch it’s difficult to chose a favorite because he had multi-episode character arcs that really allowed him to build a presence over time. So, like I said last week, I can’t choose a favorite because he’s always good!
