So I felt like an idiot for not recognizing David Threlfall as Preserved Killick in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), because between the previous rewatch in 2009 and showing it last night to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel, I'd seen the RSC's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1982) in which he makes an indelible Smike.
I can handwave that if I have to: there's twenty-one years between them, Smike is a character with a lot of tics and physical contortions, it is wholly possible to be distracted from many things by Killick's facial hair.
I didn't recognize either of them in Martin Blower (God rest him) from Hot Fuzz (2007). Which I just saw last week. And that's with nothing more than a pair of glasses and some of the worst acting since Dean Learner.
Well done, that man.
