I've just noticed Marton for the first time - after watching him in South Solitary. I'm a late starter I guess. Seeing all these posts, looks like I've got a heap of super-indulgent viewing to catch up on. Why doesn't South Solitary ever get a mention? He's such a strong actor they had to give him a limp, PTSD and an accent to make his vulnerability believable. When will he get a real leading role? How can one human bring so much breath-taking enjoyment to the screen!

Hes has a couple leads in cable tv shows already. Falcon and now Rogue. Huge roles

Aaahh. Thanks both. I'd better get cable access! I actually found a Falcon DVD yesterday and have just watched it. Yes - good to see him in a bigger role. He's so good at surly darkness.
I got the South Solitary DVD here in Tasmania. It's readily available in Oz, but is Pal-2 I think - is that compatible with your system? It's a really delicate, gentle little movie. I think the highlight is Marton's deep voice, speaking slow and quiet with a Welsh accent. He embroiders, and shares some screen time carrying a sheep called Lucille. New Zealanders are good with sheep. I love this movie - it challenges you to slow down and notice small, subtle things, intead of having streams of action on a platter.
I should read more of these posts. Which three movies are coming up? I've heard of Noah, but don't know about the others. Do we know any release dates?
He has big roles in small films and small roles in big films. Also Big TV roles.

Can anybody say (all together now ) YORGI !!!! yes.. saw this tidbit on the Hollywood reporter so if you guys want to check it out. Sounds like Marton is on his way back up to where he was in 2005. See ya all.
