Yeah, the others don't really seem to fit what I view as Thenardier. The 25th anniversary one made him seem halfway insane, and the movie one was only a pale imitation of this one.

Yes, but he’s also an amazing actor in general. I loved the The Hollow Crown series so much and his character was quite different from Monsieur Thenadier.

I grew up watching a lot of crime dramas including New Tricks, so I always knew Alun Armstrong was an excellent actor, but I never realised this was him until today! I've been watching this recording for years and all, and he just *becomes* Maitre Thénardier so seamlessly that I never recognised him. Also did not know he could sing, let alone this well! My respect for this actor just keeps growing, it seems.

Like many British actors of his generation AA had a very solid grounding of working in theatre and learning his craft there as well as in a drama school. This is less and less of an option for younger actors, many of whom seem to create a stir on TV on the basis of one characterisation, but often can't seem to progress beyond that. But AA and his ilk developed and honed their abilities over and over before becoming "famous". He is really is splendid, isn't he?

I first saw Alum in New Tricks. There was a show were the men were investigating a theatre about an old murder. Alum gets on stage to speak to the director. They are auditioning for a play . The offstage voice keeps saying do your piece " audition," or get off the stage. Alum looks down at the floor then looks up and does the to be or not to be speech. He was magnificent. I thinking he can act forgetting he was an actor.
