A star or an actor?
I like Ray, but some roles are not for him?
As Henry VIII, no way. Even he was laying on the cockney too much?
As Will in Robin of Sherwood, absolutely!
Both.
I wouldn't mind if you added 'legend'. He might be miscast at times but that happens to the best of them. You just have to watch Sexy Beast, The Proposition and Nil By Mouth to see what a talented and versatile actor he is.
