My Take
Flemyng is one of those actors whose name I actively hunt for in the credits. His collaborations with Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn placed him at the center of some of the most distinctive British cinema of his era, from Lock, Stock to Snatch to Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class. He is not the marquee lead, but he is the kind of presence that thickens the texture of a scene just by standing in it. That he also directs tells me he loves storytelling itself, not merely performing. He is the craftsman quietly holding up the skeleton of British film.
