My Take
Tommy Bastow interests me as a genuine crossover talent. Most people first met him as Dave the Laugh, but his turns in FX's Shōgun and an NHK morning drama are what catch my eye. There's something charming about an Epsom-born English actor finding a creative home in Japan-connected projects, and I suspect that bridge will define his career. Add to that his role fronting the band FranKo, and you have a performer fluent in two languages of expression. Artists who move between acting and music tend to bring extra texture to a scene, and I'll be watching where his unusual path leads next.
