Happy birthday Robert Carlyle, born in Maryhill, Glasgow April 14th 1961.

Bobby was brought up in Glasgow, the son of Elizabeth, a bus company employee, and Joseph Carlyle, a painter and decorator. His mother left when Carlyle was four years old and his dad looked after him from then. He left school at the age of 16 without any qualifications and worked for his father as a painter and decorator; however, he continued his education by attending night classes at Cardonald College in Glasgow.

Carlyle became involved in drama at the Glasgow Arts Centre at the age of 21 (having been inspired by reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible), and subsequently graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. In 1991, he and four friends founded a theatre company, Raindog (named after Tom Waits' album "Rain Dog," one of Carlyle's favorites) (a company dedicated to innovative work then, which is now primarily involved in television and film work), and guest starred in The Bill. The same year he starred in his first movie, Riff-Raff, directed by Ken Loach.

I first noticed Carlyle in the excellent ITV series Cracker, as murderer Albert "Albie" Kinsella, it wasn't long after this he had a series of his own with Hamish McBeth, the dope smoking village bobby in a quiet Scottish town on the west coast, the series ran for three seasons from 1995 to 1997.

Since then Robert Carlyle has been able to pick and choose his roles, his films include, The World is Not Enough, Plunkett & Macleane, Ravenous, 28 Weeks later and of course as Francis "Franco" Begbie in the two Trainspotting films.

On the small screen we have seen him in as the title role in Adolf : The Rise of Evil, Human Trafficking and The Last Enemy on this side of the Atlantic, in the US he has starred in the TV movie 24, SGU Stargate Universe and the continuing Once Upon a Time..

The third season of British political thriller-drama COBRA is due on our screens in the coming months

Recently we saw the TV series of the popular film, The Full Monty, which surprised me of how good it was. In February Carlyle commented on X/Titter about a Simpsons episode Ae Bonny Romance, which aired last December. In one scene, audiences are shown an airline called “Planespotting”, with the plane including a picture of Carlyle’s character Begbie on its tail! Robbert tweeted "My life is complete.." As well as the nod, the episode featured the voices of actors Karen Gillan, David Tennant and Paul Higgins.

Robbiewas lastsen in the movvie, The Performance about an American Jew and gifted tap dancer while on tour in Europe, Harold and the rest of his troupe are scouted by a German attaché who leads the troupe to an exclusive performance for Hitler himself. Next up is a mini-series Toxic Town about the tragic toxic waste case in the East Midlands and three mothers fighting for the justice for the rates of upper limb defects in babies born in Corby were subsequently found to be three times higher than those of children born.

Thoughts on Jonny Lee Miller please?

sdfghjhgfdsadfgh FRIEND YOU JUST MADE ME VERY HAPPY

(we need to send asks more!!!!!! in this interwebs tumblr cultúre)

JLM THOTS (JLM thot)

okay so I cannot remember when I started watching Elementary, but that was my first conscious JLM (I had watched Trainspotting, but I was but a babby at the time -- I have seen it... some times since then), and listen. we through around the word ND on this here site, but I think Mr. JLM as Sherlock Holmes is one of the original tumblr ND regents, and still absolutely Peak! this man knew what he was doing!

and then I went on a little JLM tour, and I am here to give you the top movies I saw with him at the time (after which I will do the list of movies I want to watch now): Hackers, Trainspotting + T2, Plunkett and Mcleane (seriously, this movie is underrated!), The Flying Scotsman, Mansfield Park, Regeneration -- also most underrated Mr Knightley in Emma + in a fun, odd little show called Eli Stone (I also watched Mindhunters, Byzantium -- which is some great Gemma Arterton -- The Escapist, Aeon Flux, and Dark Shadows, and I'm not necessarily saying don't watch these... well, maybe don't watch Dark Shadows... but they weren't my favourite. although Byzantium is fascinating. misogynist vampires)

Movies I have yet to see that I want to watch: Dead Man's Walk, Complicity, Love Honour and Obey, and Dracula 2000

MOVIES TO SHORTLY GIVE AN EXTRA SHOUTOUT TO

I'm not going to talk about Hackers (famously dreaming about wearing a latex bodysuit and getting railed by his future irl wife Angeline Jolie) or Trainspotting, but T2 -- is it good? yeah, it's not bad actually. did it need to exist? no, no it didn't. did it enjoy textually pointing out that Renton and Sick Boy have some kinda Sexual Tension? yeah, yeah, yeah! actually kind of feels like the main reason it exists is to go "hmmm do you think Renton and Sick Boy are a bit... youknow?"

also shoutout to Robert Carlyle who's in the Trainspotting films and also co-starred with JLM in their very own homoerotic duo film, which includes Liv Tyler "Plunkett and Macleane" loosely based on the history of two real highway men, and it's. just such a great movie. it's one of my "please it's so fun and so silly and such a product of the 90s! Craig Armstrong did the music!" it's kind of got some polyamory going on?

The Flying Scotsman is about a real amateur cyclist, and it's a pretty by-the-numbers inspirational tale, but I quite like those when they're about real underdogs and Graeme Obree certainly was that. From memory (it's been a few years now) I believe I watched this film and went "ah so that's where some of the early development of Sherlock Holmes mannerisms stems from," so it's also just fun as a study of JLM the actor

Regeneration -- gotta mention this one, because of it being about Siegfried Sassoon. he doesn't play Sassoon, but he's very good in it and generally it's a fascinating piece based on a book that I for some reason have only read the sequels of, and I'd recommend anything about Sassoon, I'm easy like that

I also didn't mention Frankenstein up above, but I watched both versions of it back whenever it was being shown with National Theatre Live and he was fucking stunning in both roles. as Frankenstein he's a little different to how I often picture him (read: JLM is not giving pathetic twink, although he is giving twitchy weirdo), but JLM is so physical throughout, so pitch-perfect in how he's interpreting the role. and as Adam/the creature it's like every bit of tension he's ever been able to control is just unleashed, it's sooooo (argh gotta see if I can find a torrent of that so I can rewatch him)

Now the thing about JLM is that he's often cast as kinda the straight man in a lot of his stuff, but he's... so not.... that man is silly! and you can tell! his physicality is a bouncy little weirdo, and for a good long while his body was that of a bouncy little weirdo -- and then he got fuckn Big 🥵😂 (you can take the man out of the bouncy little weirdo, but you can't take the bouncy little weirdo out of the man...... smthin like that. the more i look at this sentence the more I feel like this is an innuendo, oh well. now it's intentional)

the thing I really like about him is that he seems totally un-self-conscious while playing characters who are often under great scrutiny, either for being considered criminal and/or for being visibly non-neurotypical and/or otherwise non-normative. he's a hacker, he's an addict, he's a creature that was created from the bodies of other men, he's a bipolar cyclist, he's giving us Thee Sherlock Holmes of modern times, stimming, kinky, caring, blunt, overstimulated, relapsing, deeply unconventionally in a relationship with Watson that doesn't attempt to fit them into any mainstream language at any point!

also he has the best grimace of ever. he's so good at looking simply. perturbed. uncomfortable. get me out of this party. when he's 70 or 80 he's going to be the best old man face 🥺🥺🥺

also if I am very very lucky and very very nice to my mum, she'll take me to watch him in his current play in London, wish me luck!

TL;DR underrated character actor JLM, broader than you think he is, the hero of portrayals of weirdos and freaks and outcasts, I think it's wild that he's danced around playing queers this entire time, make him kiss a man stat!

(there's a whole other, very specific analysis of his gender in Hackers and how that relates to a wider feeling about his particular take on masculinity in a lot of my favourite portrayals of his, and also there was a youtube video that i just spent 15mins trying to find on Hackers from a transgender perspective that's mostly correctly-so about Cereal Killer/Matthew Lillard, but touches on the gender-fuckery of JLM and Angelina Jolie)

(okay I wasn't gonna talk about Hackers, but we cannot forget this scene, we simply cannot!)

[monochromatictoad]

You know, I saw a younger picture of Harlan Ellison recently, and like? He kinda looked like Robert Carlyle.

Harlan Ellison also voices AM, a main f/o of mine, while Robert Carlyle voices Gabriel Belmont/Dracul, another of my main F/Os....

[chicalepidopterareblogs]

IWTV s2 started filming a week ago and, since we are all starving for more information, I made this fancast to cope (let me know what you think!)

Gabrielle - Miranda Otto

She's got everything: the looks, the age and the 2000s nostalgia. Besides we all know she can play a gnc female warrior so damn well.

Nicolas - José Pimentão or Alec Secărenau

Aesthetically, both could fit perfectly in the part. José Pimentão's scruffy curls and earring are so in character while 6'2 Alec Secărenau standing next to Sam!Lestat is a dream come true.

Career wise, José Pimentão is very similar to Assad: not very well known yet but with a handful of works to consider. You should really watch him in Al Berto (2017) (his character has couple of important similarities with Nicolas, it's almost unsettling.)

On the other hand, Alec Secărenau has been known for a little bit longer and knowing him for his part in God's own country (2017) could be an appeal for those who aren't familiar with Nicolas as a character yet.

Marius - Murray Bartlett

He has had a lot of success lately, he's known for playing gay characters and there is just something about him that screams power. Also, he's undoubtedly attractive (I for one don't agree with those who want to make Marius ugly, sorry).

Magnus - Robert Carlyle

Someone who has played Rumpelstiltskin can also play a creepy, crazy, alchemist vampire.

Akasha - May Calamawy

Her smile is way too sweet, nothing about her screams evil and yet I think that would make Akasha way more terrifying.

Santiago - Jon Kortajarena

(I'm very happy with Ben Daniels playing Santiago but still this is how I've always pictured him)

Madeleine - Noèmie Merlant

Claudia deserves her own French girlfriend.

[ace-cf-cups]

Seriously, though, do watch The Last Enemy, especially if you like Robert Carlyle.

The main storyline – aka Stephen's and Yasim's lovestory – is kinda boring to last five hour long episodes, I admit, but the moral questions that picture raises are interesting to ponder... not to mention David Russell, played by Robert Carlyle.

Aside from the fact that he is quite attractive (and very Anyelle/Anyem-able, if you know what I mean 😏), his story is something I'd like to discuss with someone because there's clearly something there, something bigger and deeper, and yet we are not told much about who he is or why he does what he does (hell, we as viewers are not even sure for the most part what it is that he does and the ending is not that clear, either), so yes, watch The Last Enemy, especially if you like Robert Carlyle, and then come talk to me about David, I can do it for literal hours 😉

In Memoriam: The Full Monty Star and Two-Time Oscar Nominee Tom Wilkinson Dies Suddenly, Leaving Behind a Cinematic Legacy

In a sudden and heartbreaking turn of events, the world bid farewell to the immensely talented actor Tom Wilkinson on December 30. At the age of 75, the two-time Oscar nominee left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, captivating audiences with his memorable performances across a wide range of roles.

A Storied Career: The Full Monty and Beyond

Wilkinson's career reached its zenith with the 1997 smash hit "The Full Monty," a film that not only showcased his versatility as an actor but also became a cultural phenomenon. Portraying the character of ex-foreman Gerald Cooper, Wilkinson's performance as a man recruited to help a group of unemployed steelworkers launch new careers as strippers earned him critical acclaim and a well-deserved BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor. The film itself went on to win an Oscar for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and received nominations in three other categories, including Best Picture and Best Director. Wilkinson's portrayal of Gerald Cooper remains etched in cinematic history as a testament to his ability to bring depth and authenticity to any role.

Oscar Glory and Disney+ Reunion

Wilkinson's excellence in acting was further recognized by the Academy with two Oscar nominations. In 2001, he received a nomination for Actor in a Leading Role for his powerful performance in "In The Bedroom." Six years later, in 2007, he secured another nomination, this time for a Supporting Role in "Michael Clayton." These accolades solidified his status as one of the industry's most respected talents.

The film itself went on to win an Oscar for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and received nominations in three other categories, including Best Picture and Best Director. Wilkinson's portrayal of Gerald Cooper remains etched in cinematic history as a testament to his ability to bring depth and authenticity to any role.

Oscar Glory and Disney+ Reunion

In 2001, he received a nomination for Actor in a Leading Role for his powerful performance in "In The Bedroom." Six years later, in 2007, he secured another nomination, this time for a Supporting Role in "Michael Clayton." These accolades solidified his status as one of the industry's most respected talents. Recently, Wilkinson reunited with his "Full Monty" co-stars, Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy, in a Disney+ series of the same name. The reunion served as a poignant reminder of the camaraderie and chemistry that made the original film a classic.

Diverse Roles and Critical Acclaim

Beyond "The Full Monty," Wilkinson's career boasted a rich tapestry of roles that showcased his incredible range. His portrayal of American political figure Benjamin Franklin in the HBO series "John Adams" earned him a Golden Globe in 2009 and an Emmy in 2008. This historical portrayal demonstrated Wilkinson's ability to transcend borders and convincingly inhabit characters from different walks of life. From the BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit" to the 1995 rendition of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility," Wilkinson left an indelible mark on period dramas. His foray into comedy, notably in Wes Anderson's 2014 film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and the ensemble comedy "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" in 2011, further showcased his versatility.

A Titan Remembered

As news of Wilkinson's sudden passing spread, tributes poured in from colleagues and fans alike. Robert Carlyle, his co-star in "The Full Monty," referred to him as a "real titan of an actor, one of the greats of not only his, but of any generation." The sentiment echoed by Carlyle captures the essence of Wilkinson's impact on the world of acting and the hearts of those who had the privilege of witnessing his craft. In the wake of his passing, Tom Wilkinson leaves behind a legacy that transcends genres and generations. His contributions to film and television will continue to resonate, ensuring that his name remains synonymous with excellence in the world of acting. Read the full article
