He just won the Best Actor Olivier award:
Of course, I am sad Richard Armitage didn’t win for The Crucible…. I would have so much loved to see him win…
But I have got to say, I really really like Mark Strong (see him in the picture with wife Liza Marshall at last year’s Olivier’s):
A great actor with great charisma, very sexy, and also a voice to die for! I love watching him in action and would have loved to see him in “A View from the Bridge” as well. If it couldn’t be Richard winning I am glad it is him (although I really like James McAvoy too). So, my heartfelt congratulations to Mark Strong!

I heard so much about this play and Mark Strong even before The Crucible opened that I’m not surprised. Really, I think everyone nominated this year could have won and I’d have been happy.

Mark Strong has always been my kind of delicious also. Not having seen any of the other performances other than The Crucible, I can’t comment on any. But I know him to be a very nuanced actor, generally under-rated overall (I feel), and definitely worthy.

Still trying to not be heartbroken in Richard’s behalf though. It still smarts a bit.
