He was great in 4 weddings and a funeral and also Bridget Jones and some others, the part he played mostly the same but still good, he will be missed
The highlight of his career was on Top Gear with a surprisingly sycophantic Clarkson, but unfortunately Huge Grunt came across as some kind of bumbling idiot englishman and I thought at the time he was in danger of being typecast as some kind of bumbling idiot englishman. He's gone now - hurray!He was great in 4 weddings and a funeral and also Bridget Jones and some others, ...
I thought he was good in "about a boy". He looked well in it I also thought and wondered why he didn't keep that image.
You lot might not miss him but [broken link removed] will
What is so wrong with playing the bumbling Englishman ,everybody who watched 4 Wedding and Bridge Jones enjoyed those films even if they don't admit it out loud and lets not forget Notting Hill .......oh yeah, you mean to ones where he played the part of the bumbling idiot englishman!
........ being a bumbling idiot Englishman I supposeWhat is so wrong with playing the bumbling Englishman
...everybody who watched 4 Wedding and Bridge Jones enjoyed those films even if they don't admit it out loud....
As the saying goes(you'll only miss him when he is gone come's to mind) mark my words
I can't think of another actor who can play the bumbling Englishman as good as him if any at all.
I think he deserves a knighthood from the Queen

He received success as an actor that is fact,if not he would not have been paid so much to act and millions of people would not have gone to see his movies,unless you judge success as having won an oscar then that would put him in the company of the likes of Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas to name a few unless you think they are not good actors also......... being a bumbling idiot Englishman I suppose
.........Ok I'll admit (even to myself) that I DID NOT enjoy those films
I think you do
............ mark my words.....I won't(in time you will)
.... bumbling idiot Englishman to be precise . ....... and yes I agree he is indeed one.
Hugh Grant is not a bumbling Englishman only the characters he plays and if he does them so good then in my book makes him a good actor don't you think.I think you are mixing up fiction with reality ,(Christopher Reed was not actually Superman)
.........oh jeez here we go.........lets put him right up there with the likes of Tim Henman then........ coming close and achieving feck all.
,unless you judge success as having won an oscar then that would put him in the company of the likes of Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas to name a few unless you think they are not good actors also.
Did he win an oscar!
No.
Neither did Mitchum or Douglas but I think that is kind of Dodo's point - sort of.
You did not get the point,I said if you judge a actor by if he won an oscar,then is plain English he would be with the like's of Kirk Douglas,Robert Mitchum who also never won an oscar.Did he win an oscar!
I know he has BAFTA or something bit I must have missed the oscar?

Caveat thanks somethings are not easy to explain to some people
