“James Callis is known for Bridget Jones’s Diary”.
Yeah, he had a small part as a stereotypical gay guy in a mediocre romantic comedy ten years ago.
I suppose Battlestar Galactica doesn’t count because it’s sci fi, shock horror, but:
-it was a FIVE-YEAR role
-He played so many different things in one character (traitor, lover, prisoner, angel, etc.)
-He did an amazing job
-It’s the role he’s the most proud of, and with good reason
-BSG is where he got most of his current fans from
-It’s probably the reason he gets roles today
If he had chosen to do the gay best friend roles he was offered after BJD, then I wouldn’t mind so much that people say he’s known for BJD. But it was one role like that. He can do SO MUCH MORE.
