  • Reece Shearsmith
rdfs:comment
  • Only someone as unbelievably, mind-mindbogglingly autistic as Mark Gatiss would think to themselves "Yeah, Reece Shearsmith! He'd make a perfect Patrick Troughton!" Reece clearly hated his job so much that his next appearance in Who-related media opened with him telling us not to watch it, and so we didn't.
  • Shearsmith's League characters included the terrifying Papa Lazerou, murderous shopkeeper Edward Tattsyrup, normal Benjamin Denton, and others. Outside of League, he starred on the medical sitcom tlc (with Richard Griffiths), again essayed multiple roles on Psychoville and Inside No. 9 (both with Steve Pemberton, and guest starred on Marple, Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), Doctor Who, and Galavant. In film, he appeared in Shaun of the Dead (as Mark), Birthday Girl, The World's End, and Burke and Hare (directed by John Landis).
  • He is probably best known for his role in The League of Gentlemen, which he co-created and co-starred in with Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton, and has also appeared in series such as Spaced, and New Tricks.
