My Take

Paul McGann is the kind of English actor I respect for his range rather than for chasing fame. His turn as Percy Toplis in The Monocled Mutineer put him on the map in 1986, but for me Withnail and I is where he really lives, a cult classic that keeps finding new audiences decades on. There's a quiet, intelligent quality to his work that suits both film and television. He belongs to a generation of British actors who built careers on craft and consistency rather than spectacle, and I find that more enduring than the louder kind of stardom. A dependable presence whenever he appears.
