Dominic West as Flashman at GMF auction.


Read this under trivia on Dominic West's IMDb page:

Dominic West portrayed late author George MacDonald Fraser's Victorian anti-hero Harry Flashman, the main character of Fraser's "Flashman" novels, at a 2014 auction of Fraser's library. West also stated at the time that he would like to see a new Flashman movie made for the new generation. The only previous movie, Royal Flash (1975) was not a success and was so disliked by Fraser that he would not allow another one to be made in his lifetime.

Did anyone see this event, and what was he like?

After seeing him in "Centurion" I thought he might actually be quite good as Flashman.
