One of the few actors to appear in two Oscar winning "best films" but for a certain generation (especially if you come from Liverpool) he will always be Yozzer "Gizza Job" Hughes in the always powerful Boys from the Blackstuff - which coincidentally has recently been adapted for the stage.

I quite like Boys from the Blackstuff. I even have it on DVD.

Yes, indeed.

I'm not sure that Tolkien needed an "hasta la vista, baby," but there it is.
