My Take
Heap is a character actor of the rarest kind, and I have enormous affection for what he does. Born in Kodaikanal, India, and raised into British comedy, he carries a CV that reads like a circus playbill: comedian, puppeteer, circus performer, stage and film actor. In gems like Green Wing and Spaced he turns oddball supporting roles into the bits you remember long after the leads fade. That ability to be unforgettable from the margins is a craft I deeply respect. He is proof that a memorable face and impeccable timing can outshine any headline billing.
