"I learned to not get drunk the night before a huge audition" is a crazy thing to hear such a well-respected actor say lmao
„I don‘t want to waste anybody‘s time“ Tells you everything you Need to know about Mark Strong. He is a respectful, mindful, empathic and professional. God bless people like him.
This would have been for Die Another Day. Would've been a more menacing choice for sure.
Sometimes the most important part of professionalism is realizing when you've messed up, and politely leaving the stage without making a fuss.
thats the spirit. accept mistake, learn n move fwd
Superb actor
Straight to the point. Respect
Considering Lee Tamahori was the director on Die Another Day, I’d say it’s probably for the best he didn’t get that part
One of the most underrated actors around.
Love him ♥️🫂
The internet tells me that Lee Tamahori's only Bond film was Die Another Day.
A great actor.
Fantastic actor.
Ignominy's a great word.
He could read the phone book and I’d sit raptly
Sad it went thay way. I wosh we had him in one of the bond films.
Great actor. His character in the movie Stardust is so fantastic, he’s one of my families favorites. He would be an excellent Bond villain.
❤❤❤❤❤
Humble and kind, it takes a strong man to admit this mistake
I really hope he gets another shot. Mark is a brilliant actor and a wonderful human being!
