Hugh Laurie is one of the most underrated character actors. He is always so committed to the character he is playing, no matter if the character is funny, the anti-hero or the villain - as he does so good in The Night Manager. Those last scenes with him in the last episode had me blown away. I also just find Hugh so charming. I know there is a lot of talk about who should be the next Bond. I miss the days of Sean Connery where it's about that charm and not about being buff with a blank stare. I would absolutely love for Hugh Laurie to take that on, though I know I'm probably the only one who feels that way. (So good luck to Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Jon Hamm or whoever may get the Bond role).
I cannot say I have had much to do with Hugh Laurie before, but seeing this I am rather fond of him as an interesting person and also potentially an uncommonly superb actor! I am only saddened that he appears to have done not much more in this genre, focusing more on characters and comedy.
+Jolene S. I do love evaluating actors and my top virtue to seek is adaptability-I shall definitely go over his filmography and check perhaps into some more of his work.
I wish that too. Too me he completely disappears into and embody all the roles he takes on (like House). I think it's such a shame when comedic actors don't get recognized as the superb dramatic actors they often turn out to be. After The Night Manager he is going to do a show called Chance on Hulu. I just saw and interview with him on Charlie Rose where he talks about it a little bit.
My theory is I think Roper smells something odd about Pine but because Pine saved his son so he doesn’t want to believe that Pine’s the rotten one. Like what Roper said to Pine in the show, “I don’t have to believe you but I CHOOSE to.”
I agree with Laurie. Trotsky too, on a subconscious level, knew that Ramon Mercader was going to betray him and possibly kill him (as he did). He NEVER was alone with anyone in a room, yet he greeted Mercader alone the day Mercader attacked him with an ice ax. The thought that Roper subconsciously knew that Pine was a traitor is not far from what usually happens in real situations.

Tom Hiddleston was beautiful but man Hugh just nailed the character.
It’s a very interesting insight that Hugh makes about Ropers final act. I thought this watching it.
My theory is I think Roper smells something odd about Pine but because Pine saved his son so he doesn’t want to believe that Pine’s the rotten one. Like what Roper said to Pine in the show, “I don’t have to believe you but I CHOOSE to.”
I think he feels that Pines a good man and thats what rubs him ring because people in his line of work are bad and he rubs him the wrong way.
Odd fellows, maybee Denmark but it's worse,. Odd against, odds... As they say in all, lotteri!
Goodman, ohh
Smells?????
Rotten,??? Rothschild, Rothmann??? Rates
Final scene of Night Manager is incredible. Top acting from Hugh, but no surprises there.
That Is The Bomb Of What He Is Saying!..The Movie Is Deep!.....I Cant Wait To See It!.... OUCH!..

I feel like Roper always new that Tom's character wasn't completely his, and was desperately trying to make him so.
