Watching Slow Dogs made me remember how much I loved Jonathan Pryce, so I went looking for some of his other stuff at the LFPL. I found something called Wolf Hall which looked interesting: a historical drama set around the court of Henry VIII, with Mr. Pryce playing the part of Cardinal Wolsey. I put in a request for it, and venisoon after it was in my hot little hands, and shortly after that it was in my hot little DVD player.
What a great show. So great that after Cardinal Wolsey died, I kept watching. That Thomas Cromwell (expertly played by Mark Rylance...and I'll be looking for more of his stuff, for sure) was one amazing guy. Might have to read up on him later on.
As I was watching Episode 5, I caught a glimpse of a familiar face:
Yep, Tom Holland himself. He had a tiny part, mostly non-speaking...which is probably why I hadn't sighted him earlier, as he'd been in it pretty much from the get go.
And all I could think was, "He sure came a hell of a long way in nine years!"
