[@arturs2436]

And did it for free. He used a quote of the Rowley Birkin, QC sketch line has Sparrow"so then they made me chief" if im not mixing up. Also Paul Whitehouse later did voice roles Has"Thackery" in the 2016 movie "Alice Through the Looking Glass"and 2)Has"William Van Dort / Mayhew / Paul the Head Waiter" in the 2006 Tim Burton movie"Corpse Bride"-both movies in which Depp had the or 1 of the main roles.

[@colinstewart1432]

Slide down the greasy pole of my depravity !! Priceless 🤜💥🤛

[@rbeygarcia]

Paul’s not only a comedian. He’s a fantastic actor. Like frighteningly fantastic. It can only be his own reluctance to venture outside the UK that’s kept him from the bright lights of Hollywood. People get Oscars for acting like his.

[@arturs2436]

Closer he has been of Hollywood probably was his role has Anatas Mikoyan in the 2017 movie"Death of Stalin" (a movie in which for ex Steve Buscemi plays the role of Nikita Khrushchev). Also to note the voice roles:1) Has"Thackery" in the 2016 movie "Alice Through the Looking Glass"(in which Johnny Depp(who admires him) has"Hatter Tarrant Hightopp) and 2)Has"William Van Dort / Mayhew / Paul the Head Waiter" in the 2006 Tim Burton movie"Corpse Bride"(Depp had the main voice role).
