Has Toby Stephens got a big role in this?

Thanks.

Toby Stephens portrays the nicest character of anything he's done, except Mr. Rochester in "Jane Eyre!" His role is very important and he is a kind and gentle person. Believe me--I've seen almost everything he has done in film and TV--if it is available to purchase!! He is a greatly underestimated actor.

I heartily agree with you! He is one of my favorite actors and it is difficult to get some of his work. I have an audio-tape of him in " King Lear" and finally "Tenant" is available on Netflix and Amazon( US) to buy, BUT some of the other films I have on a waiting list. Wish he would do more in the US. I find that I like his work more as he ages. He looks so like his mom when he's young, but young and arrogant. His face and voice have mellowed well, and I hope he gets roles that show this positive change.

May I add, I do like his mom, Maggie Smith, a great deal. But as Toby ages, he looks more masculine and less like mum.PLUS, the fact that he quit drinking ( despite the fact that we all know O'toole , Burton, his dad could all do Shakespeare totally drunk and it was 'accepted') makes me admire him more as a performer.
