Arthur Darvill

Arthur Darvill is the rare talent who moves easily between acting and music, and I love that versatility. He won wide affection as Rory Williams in Doctor Who, playing that loyal, slightly hapless everyman with real heart, then stretched into Rip Hunter on Legends of Tomorrow and a troubled vicar in Broadchurch. That range is impressive enough, but he's also a composer and musician with a serious stage career. Performers who can both inhabit a role and build the work itself tend to age extraordinarily well. I expect this wry, unpretentious Englishman to keep surprising me, and I'm here for it.
