Both of Rylance's grandfathers were POWs of the Japanese, and this maybe has led to his very strong pacifist views. Nothing wrong with that, but I am less impressed with his patronage of the Stop the War Coalition, which seems to exist to protest against all wars, except those where Russia is involved.
Not a bad actor, though.
Indirectly, I was, but yeah, I meant more general acts, rather than uniformed acts.
The 'miscasting' of older actors (technically inaccurate, but completely understandable) has continued: Tom Hardy is shown as a pilot but is 39.
And you're right about Rylance. His part in Bridge of Spies was more apt.
