Nathaniel Parker

Nathaniel Parker is the sort of actor I'd call a quiet anchor. Most people know him as the lead in The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, a role that demands you carry a long-running series without ever overplaying it, and that restraint is exactly his strength. Then there's the 2015 Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, which tells me the stage values him as much as television does. I like performers who move comfortably between screen and theatre rather than treating one as a paycheck for the other. With Parker, the craft feels like the point, and that earns my attention.
