"It's a cliché, but it's true that all the fun lies in baddies,
grotesques and comic roles. For me, the joy of The League [of Gentlemen] was in the dressing
up; the wigs and teeth. Now I get asked to play vicars all the time. I've only
ever played one. I got offered three gay vicars in a day last year. I thought,
'Hang on, I'm not the new Nimmo!'. But as an actor, you know very early on if
you're never going to play Romeo. And after that, it never enters your
head."
Mark Gatiss,
interviewed in The Independent.
Mark played a curate in an episode of
Marple, TV buffs!
Oh, and he's doing
something at the Donmar Warehouse.
Yes an Anglo-Catholic curate - and we all now what they're about *wink*.
