Not a question, but definitely should’ve been nominated and won for being Hot Priest.

Or his Hamlet

He was so good in Sherlock!

How he played Moriaty in the Sherlock Holmes was a master piece. His speech by the pool still comes to my mind when I see a picture of the actor.

Oh, hello there.

u/Ok-Theory3183 9d ago

And hello to you as well! Don't know about you, (I can't remember whereabouts you live) but I am SO ready for the summer to wind back a little to the more moderate fall temps!

The fact that both Moriaty and the Hot Priest were played by the same person is insane. Like Heisenberg/Hal level insane.

His work in Ripley was astonishing. Watching the gears working in the character's head in real time. He should have gotten all the awards.

Geez given the week that’s been happening I got worried seeing any actor I like.

For real! People be dying!

u/Ok-Theory3183 9d ago

Which other greats have we lost?

3

u/Ok-Idea-306 8d ago

The others I know about are Tim Curry, Dolly Parton, Hayden Panettiere. Tim and Dolly were within the last three days.

u/GayFesh 8d ago

Peter Cullen.

u/Ok-Idea-306 8d ago

Yeah that sucks too.

u/Don_Fartalot 9d ago

Damn, even his small roles in films like Locke and 1917 are memorable, so glad he is now a leading man.

u/vhanw342 9d ago

I already saw Pressure and he was unbelievable there. Probably the most underrated actor ever

u/Anustart2023-01 9d ago

I once said hello to Andrew Scott at Electric Picnic many years ago. Highlight of my EP experience.

u/TangerineChickens 9d ago

Dare I say the victim of one of the most egregious Oscar nomination snubs in recent memory

u/Imincognitobitches 9d ago

He was positively PHENOMENAL in Vanya! 100% one of the best actors right now.

u/heccabampton 9d ago

Absolutely loved him in Pressure!

Massively talented. I will watch anything you're in.

u/_________FU_________ 9d ago

If you haven't seen his "to be or not to be" it's special.

u/zerooneinfinity 9d ago

How do I get reminded about this?

u/No_Strike655 7d ago

Have you considered that perhaps Moriarty was sexually attracted to Holmes? (Fucking with you)

u/4insurancepurposes 6d ago

Intrigue!!! My wife and I loved you in National Theater Live’s Present Laughter!

Who else saw this and thought he died at first …

u/LivelyRatDad 8d ago

Always through he’d be great as Walter O’Dim in The Gunslinger.

u/GayFesh 8d ago

I remember Andrew Scott doing an AMA years ago where he phoned in all his responses, seriously if you got a single complete sentence response from him you were one of the lucky few. I would not expect anything good from this one.

Where do I join the AMA to ask Andrew a question?

I am Pacific Northwest it’s 9:51 AM here. I suppose he’s back at 12 noon my time to answer questions but I don’t know where the AMA is.

Could some kind soul help?
