Oh god yes, especially in Pink. He is amazing in that one, showing just how broken John is and how much of his military self is still clinging on. People tend to focus on Benedict because he’s so lively and your eye is drawn to him because he’s different so look at and listen to, but Martin is quietly amazing. As he said, John is still, and doesn’t really show off, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not doing anything. He can convey so much feeling through so little movement.
He deserved the BAFTA for series one so much.
Yes. all this. And I noticed Lestrade calls him Sher when he runs out too, heh. Rupert Graves is also very interesting to watch. But yes, Martin…
