I saw him in Bridge of Spies recently. I had felt bits of familiarity between how he played Thomas Cromwell and his character in BoS. Yet while I had found he had more presence and material to work with in Wolf Hall, I thought he had a subtle presence in BoS. When he was on screen in BoS, I was drawn inand the few scenes he had kept my attention more than the scenes with Tom Hanks leading.
I've thought actors who do great work in theater and eventually transition to TV or film have a better chance of success because they have the experience and capacity to play their characters.
