I suppose he actually has done quite alot of that sort of acting, but what we remember him most for are his sort of superhero roles - The Chief, JJD, Pros, even as a surgeon in A&E.

They're the ones he's done on TV but if he'd done more classical stuff on TV like Shakespeare or something then I'm sure I'd remember that as well (as I do his role in Macbeth), but he hasn't! And I'm not sure why he didn't do stuff with the RSC, for example, he's certainly good enough. And yes, I really wish he'd done more baddy roles rather than some of the other roles which I think have tended towards self-righteousness and suchlike characteristics. (And so many roles where's he wearing some kind of uniform!) Still, anything's better than nothing and it's great to see him at all, unlike poor old Lew.
