Incidentally, David Bradley has always been one of my favourites of the group you could label ‘Older British Actors Who Consistently Have Villainous Supporting Roles In Huge Franchises And Do Brilliant Work But Generally Are Fairly Underrated’ so it’s nice to think he’ll get more recognition after today
