My Take
Simon Williams strikes me as the kind of dependable British character actor who quietly holds a production together. Best known as James Bellamy in Upstairs, Downstairs, he became the go-to face for aristocratic and upper-middle-class roles, then proved his range in the sitcom Don't Wait Up and the medical drama Holby City. What interests me more is that he is also a musician, playwright, and author. Performers with that many creative outlets tend to bring real texture to their work, and I suspect his longevity comes precisely from that curiosity. He is a craftsman, not a celebrity, and I value that.
