My Take
Angus Macfadyen first lodged in my memory as Robert the Bruce in Braveheart, that tortured study of loyalty and betrayal. He is the kind of Scottish character actor I prize: Edinburgh-educated, equally at home in pulp like the Saw films and stylized fare like Equilibrium. What earns my respect is the obsessive integrity of returning years later to make his own Robert the Bruce film, settling accounts with the role that defined him. He is not a flashy star, but he is the sort of presence that anchors a scene and lingers afterward. A consummate, dependable craftsman.
