My Take
Joe Cole is, for my money, one of the most quietly magnetic English actors working. From Skins to John Shelby in Peaky Blinders to Gangs of London, he has a knack for playing men teetering on the edge of violence without ever overacting it, and his Black Mirror turn proved he can do tender just as well. The database listing his origin as the Roman Empire is plainly an import glitch; he's a Londoner through and through. I rate him as a character actor who keeps stealing scenes from bigger names, and I suspect his best, most leading work is still ahead.
