British actors don’t come more versatile than Eddie Marsan. You may remember him from when he played a henchman opposite Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III, the Sherlock-consulting Inspector with Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, or as one of Simon Pegg’s last surviving pub-crawlers in The World’s End.
On TV, Marsan moved up through The Bill, Casualty, EastEnders (and an appearance as wanted criminal and Samantha Womack’s ex-boyfriend and in an episode of late 90s comedy, Game On), to older brother Terry Donovan in all seven series of Ray Donovan. In April, he starred in The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, about the man who infamously reappeared five and a half years after he faked his own death in a canoeing accident.
