is woody allen into the League of Gentlemen?


because not only does Tubbs have a sizeable role in Match Point as the detective, but the guy who was playing table tennis with the the Girl with a Pearl Earring near the beginning of the film was another none other than Hilary Briss... strange, i never thought Royston Vasey would be Alvy Singer's cup-of-tea

Woody's casting director Juliet Taylor does a lot of research for him. For example, she found Samantha Morton in a little-known BBC TV and showed it to Woody. Previously, She was not known in America. Since Woody had decided to film in London, I imagine she did some research into current British TV and and film and found the gents. I have read that woody watches mostly the news and sports (baseball and basketball) on TV.
