Peter Mullan

Peter Mullan is one of those Scottish actors who walks into a frame and adds gravity. A University of Glasgow graduate, he turns up across Riff-Raff, Trainspotting, My Name Is Joe, War Horse, Top of the Lake and Ozark, usually carrying a weight behind the eyes. But what earns my real respect is that he directs too, telling hard, working-class stories on his own terms. He isn't here to charm you; he's here to show you the ache under ordinary lives. When a serious craftsman like him commits fully to a part, the whole production feels more honest. A genuine, uncompromising one.
