The Many Faces Of David Thewlis

This week, Brian Helgeland's film Legend goes wide in North America, and the film stars Tom Hardy as the identical Cray twins. But there are more stellar actors in that cast, one of them being David Thewlis. And he is the focus of this quiz.

The one thing noticeable with David Thewlis is that he looks, well, unnoticeable. A regular British bloke as you happen to meet, once there. But he uses his common looks as a powerful way to establish believable characters, no matter how weird or fantastic the film he is in. When he is angry you feel it, when he uses caustic wit it hurts, yet when he's the good guy you identify with him.

Therefore, once again I'm going to use eleven pictures of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images, and guess which movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb!

And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone gets all of them right...

And here he is as Leslie Payne in Legend.
