The Responder actor David Bradley is known to viewers of all ages due to the range of work he does.
The Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre stage star has captivated audiences for over 50 years.
But despite such a long career, some fans may not realise how many huge series David has been involved in.
That’s because although he continues to work prolifically in TV and film at 79, he is rarely the leading man.

The film will also star Ewan McGregor, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Christoph Waltz and Tilda Swinton.
David is a gent and a film-stealer in equal measure.
