Hard to watch this without him speaking in the Baltimore accent

[TheCaulfield]

Must say... As a Brit myself, he has a gorgeous speaking voice ❤️❤️ just watched him playing the murderer Fred West... Amazing!!!!

BBC Les Miserables was fabulous.
Yes, Jean Valjean was a real hero figure and I am so glad I saw West portray him first. This was truly a Masterpiece production.

[motesmalglad]

I can't believe he's British

[darmastutidarmastuti]

He's charming..he played cheating husband, but I don't hate him😂..
He's a great actor...and I am surprised, he's british, bravo..

Oh my gosh I'd love to stay. I saw Ireland last year for the first time Limerick for 10 Glorious days, last September. Our Ancestor Major John Welch left in 1640, for

He's one good looking guy. Too bad he can't really do a convincing Italian mobster voice.

I really enjoyed The Masterpiece, I cried soooo hard at the end last nite 💙😨😭❤

Why is mcnulty speaking with a british accent

[faithjacksondocherty]

He does not sound like hes from Sheffield.

[almazabraha]

He's a great actor the golden glob should have gone to him. It went to Ruth Wilson because she was complaining about the producers. She's not a better actor than Dominic or Joshua. How can she claim "equal pay" when she is less experienced than Dominic?

[Elle_Gowing]

I think he would be great in a remake of Roman Holiday.

[voltaire]

Can't wait for him to play the lead in the Nelson Mandela bio movie.

[uniquelyme]

He was the star of the affair, of course he was paid more. Duh

[londonvon]

haha...this didn't age well. He has cheated on his wife many times
