It must be strange for an actor to have spent so long doing films to find a career defining role in a BBC drama but Mr Murphy has done just that. No one else can ever play Tommy Shelby.

[@samanthawilliamson9694]

He has played fame so smart. Flew almost under the radar for nigh on 15yrs? There or there abouts. A long time before anyone gets too precise or pedantic. No one really knew who he was, then Peaky Blinders just went postal! Yeah he has done it better than going from a child star to superstar. He would scoff at that most likely. Being called a superstar. He seems very engaging with a really warm demeanour. The scenes with him and Tom hardy are just heavenly. Essential drama. Never followed anything before this

@@lukeshaw4287 evolution has been here for billions of years and there are still people who don't believe it. It makes more sense to base our philosophy on this quote than on a book written for the elderly and edited by others over time. Those who fail to see that God (any kind of God) is just a human creation will never realize that they are free to do whatever they want. That they need not be afraid of a deity who will judge them afterlife. Because life afterlife just doesn't exist. The more you learn studying the history of mankind, the more you see how this world works and how our beliefs are just beliefs that will die with us.

He's too modest. The reason the show improved season upon season, is because he made the character more complex as the seasons went on.
