My Take

I know James Faulkner the way a lot of people do, through the slow burn of recognition rather than one breakout role. He's been working since the 1970s, but it was that run of imposing older men, Pope Sixtus IV in Da Vinci's Demons, Randyll Tarly in Game of Thrones, then Saint Paul in Paul, Apostle of Christ, that finally made his face click for me. What I admire is the patience of it: a British actor who spent decades being quietly reliable and got his richest parts in his late sixties. There's something reassuring about a career that keeps deepening instead of fading.
