Where have I seen him onstage?


This has been bugging me for ages. This bloke looks extremely familiar, and since I haven't seen any but two of the films he's been in, I'm wondering if I've seen him onstage. Has anyone seen him do any Shakespeare or barring that, any productions in England in the last four years?

According to the Cast Bios on "The Gathering Storm" DVD, he's done a great deal of stage work. If I remember, he was with the National Company, among others. If I hadn't sent back the DVD yesterday, I'd have gotten you the complete list.

He did Coriolanus and Richard II at the Gainsborough in Shoreditch a few years back -- blew Raplh Fiennes off the stage

I saw him in both of these plays, and in Uncle Vayna at the New Vic. Amazing stage presence; superb actor in all mediums: theatre, film and tv.

Linus Roache played Thomas Wayne, the father to Bruce Wayne/Batman in "Batman Begins."
