Cool. We Sharpe-heads can say "we Daniel Craig when..."
Caught Capt. LeRoy on the Happy Days reunion show. There were two Chucks; was he first or second?
"Good gravy!"
"Thank you. It's just brown and water."
yea i just noticed it was him, im watching Sharpe's Eagle now
what a bastard Sharpe is!
Leroy was also "Jack Petacchi" in "Never say never again".
shareLennox was in (Eagle)"Tomorrow never Dies"
Major Dodd (Challenge) was in "Die another day"
Sean Bean of course was in "Golden Eye"
There's probably others
Ensign Denny played Sgt. Grant in "Band of Brothers."
"Hey! If...if we had some rope, we could make a log bridge...if...if we had...some...logs."
I never saw Daniel Craig before "The Road to Perdition" and "Layercake." He was good in both gangster movies.
Wow I only just realized he played berry
Smeg!
I watched Sharpes Eagle for the first time last night and thought the guy playing berry would make a great James Bond. Imagine my surprise when......
and I'm a guy who saw Daniel Craig's blonde hair and thought NO WAY!
we live we learn hey guys!
Growing old is mandatory, Growing UP is optional
Famously played Geordie in Our Friends in the North too, first time I remember seeing him (I'd forgotten him from Eagle).
Three guineas to pay her maids old boy. Cards old boy?
Although I like both Dudgeon and Craig, they weren't anywhere near posh enough in Eagle for me. Just saying "old boy" a lot isn't enough. Maybe I'm being over-critical, it's tough to out-posh Cochrane's Simmerson who steals every scene he's in IMO.
"Well bleed me damn you!"
"And who the devil are you Sir!"
"Not a gentleman??!"
etc. Class stuff. Would make a good "old" Flashman.
Berry was also poor, thus his constant wringing money out of Simmerson's nephew. He wasn't supposed to be posh. That's why he was sleeping with the maids and not the countess. He was also convincingly cruel. I didn't recognize him as Daniel Craig at all until I noticed his name in the credits...But then again, Ian Fleming described Bond has having "a rather cruel face." Hmmmnnnn.
shareI think Berry was supposed to be rich actually. There is no way a poor person would become an officer in them days. He was sponging money of his mate all the time because he will be spendng his on gambling, booze and whores.
Also the maids will have been a lot "easier" than a countess.

Actually, he wasn't 'rich'. He was just 'noble' by the standards of the day, that is to say that he was born into an aristocratic family. That didn't necessarily equate to having money, particularly since only a second (or lower) son would be making the army a career.
Let slip the Determined Kitten of Doom!share
I didn't realize he was noble. I thought he was born into a gentry family rather than an aristocratic one?
shareLeroy was also the despicable and dastardly Dan Suggs in Lonesome Dove
