My Take
Andrew-Lee Potts is the kind of actor I instinctively root for. As the endearingly geeky Connor Temple on Primeval, he gave a dinosaur-romp sci-fi show a beating heart, and his turn as the Hatter in SyFy's Alice showed he can make eccentricity feel warm rather than gimmicky. The fact that he directs as well tells me he thinks about the whole frame, not just his lines. He isn't a Hollywood headliner, and that's exactly why I find him compelling; British character actors who quietly stack up rich, committed work are the backbone of the craft, and Potts has the texture I want from a screen presence.
