Spot The Actor

[maggiebee]

I have decided to binge watch Silent Witness from the beginning. Now on series 6 and saw a young lad I thought looked familiar. He only had a small part but turns out it was Benedict Cumberbatch. Must have been at the very start of his career. Love actor spotting.

I have just started watching Prime Suspect from the beginning and there are quite a few young actors who are now in Corrie Etc.

You just reminded me danny - another one of the young actors a "baddie" is now in Eastenders. Still a dubious character.

In Season 2 (1997), two episodes of Silent Witness (Blood,Sweat and Tears) there is a great performance by a very young Idris Elba as Charlie. Much later he became DCI John Luther in the series of the same name.

Silent Witness was a fertile ground for great talent to come.

Many of the 'scrotes' in The Bill were relative newcomers to our screens but are now household names.
