My Take
Tamsin Greig is the kind of actress I genuinely marvel at, because she moves between gut-punch drama and razor-sharp comedy as if there were no border between them. From Maidstone, educated at the University of Birmingham, she became the face of British comedy through Black Books and Green Wing, yet she also took home the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress. Making people laugh and making them ache are entirely different muscles, and very few performers can flex both with this ease. To me she embodies the depth of British theatre, a serious stage talent who quietly anchors the living-room sitcom too.
