He was 38 years old when the series was made. I have never seen him in anything else ... and can only describe him as a smouldering, brooding omnipresence in the film. Perfect casting.

All of the casting was superb: The actors who played Canon Collins and Mrs. Bennett were born to play those roles. They define the role and the role defines them ... can one ever see either of them as anyone else?

He was in Nanny McPhee last month...a fun Mary Poppins kind of movie. He still had that look when he fell in love in the movie.
