About this episode
The episode explores the career of character actor Daniel Mays, starting with the film The Thursday Murder Club featuring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
Okay so we're starting something strange. We're going to be dedicating a whole month to looking at Daniel Mays, the character actor, and seeing where his career takes us. We did something similar with Barbera Streisand and it turned out to be a lot of fun, but what about someone that not a lot of people have heard about? We start off with a Chris Columbus movie, The Thursday Murder Club starring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan as old retirees who go around solving cold case murders.
