John Lithgow was simply stunning as Churchhill, so complete in every way.  He deserves an Emmy without question.

Whaat? He's American? I thought he was a Brit for sure! He played Churchill really well.

Lithgow should get an Emmy for his performance. He was magnificent as Churchill !

Is it just me or is Claire Foy totally fangirl-ing over John Lithgow? So cute!

[orvalroberson]

the depiction of Churchill is so fucking on point, what an amazing actor john is... I was so drawn to the character in this show, a different point of view on one of the strongest and highest prime ministers in history.. it was just chilling the scene where the queen and him meet for the first time...amazing

Foy is a very good actress. But what's most impressive about her role as QEII is her speech. She speaks the Queen's English FLAWLESSLY on the series.

they both KILLED their parts! absolutely phenomenal performances.

Claire Foy is sooo sweet; fantastic actress too. Watched the first 3 episodes of the show. Magnificent performances by Matt, Claire, and John. We finally get a human perspective of the most famous royal family in the world.

Lithgow paces himself incredibly. Every so often just as we begin to forget he always manages to remind us how fantastic an actor he is.

Oh . my . god. So much more admiration for John Lithgow now that i see he's American! Would never have guessed with his perfect English accent.

Just binge watched it and God, it killed me. Can't wait to see more. Beautifully done.

I felt sad when Winston burned his portrait.

[jrh]

He's so much younger than I thought... And an American!! Fantastic job John

[brian_be_flyin]

Lithgow is American!!? Wow 😳 he's spectacular as Churchill on that show.. such a beautiful show

[Christineog]

His scene in 1:6 I believe, when he is *spoilers*
Sick and having to keep the secret from Elizabeth and then caught later in the episode is heart wrenching. His emotional moment with her had me in tears and I knew I had to watch a funny episode of 3rd rock from the sun or Harry and the Henderson’s because I had to know Lithgow was just acting!! It was so real how he portrayed Churchill.

This video was from a time before most of us realized how incredible this show is.

john used to take ballet class with us about 15 years ago( was it that long ago?) and he was so unassuming and quiet. we loved having him there - it was a gift to have him join us. I don't know if he was preparing for a role, or just interested in ballet. good times!

[byzinski]

Claire Foy was phenomenal, too ! What a beauty. That cleft chin gets me😍

This series is astonishing. The acting, the writing, the sets, the cinematography and even the title music is by Hans Zimmer
