My Take
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.
Overview
Nathaniel Parker (born 18 May 1962) is an English stage and screen actor best known for playing the lead in the BBC crime drama series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, and Agravaine de Bois in the fourth series of Merlin.
