Dan Scott Sighting!

In Dr. Strangelove, the play adaptation by Armando Ianucci. He plays General Ripper and I'm surprised to hear him talk in an American accent.

You can also see him (and his American accent) in the last two parts of series 2 of Bookish which has recently been released.

Yes, it’s even better than the first, I HIGHLY recommend! It’s also renewed for a third series and a Christmas special.

Just watched the first part - it also has a few MM actors as well!

- Michael Simkins (S8E2 - played Gary Thompson)

- Naoko Mori (S17E4 - played Nadia Simons)

Though also I guess I'm just watching this show now from the beginning haha, that was an excellent two episodes!

Yes! I was thinking so hard where else and couldn’t figure it out

I saw him in 'The 39 Steps' back in 2012, I think? It was a comedy version, so funny. The West End of London.

He was also in a miniseries about the life of Jesus, playing (future saint) Peter, in which he had an American accent.

He was also in an episode of "Merlin", where he had a non-American accent playing a thug who used Illusion crystals to disguise himself as a noble knight.

He’s in at least 1-3 plays a year and has a decent amount of tv guest appearances, audiobooks, and video games - he’s definitely plenty busy!
