Thanks for an excellent review. I immediately recognized Jim Broadbent from Cloud Atlas. His performance was outstanding in that somewhat convoluted film so I look forward to him as a leading man in something where the plot is more straightforward.

Paddington 1 & 2
Game of Thrones (Season 7, eps 1, 2, 3, 5)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

He also won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2002 for Iris.
