What is it about Welsh actors? We know about their singers like Tom Jones, Shirley Basset, Charlotte Church , Kathryn Jenkins, Harry Secombe etc But for a tiny country they produce extraordinary amount of world talent. Especially in the arts.
Burton? Hopkins? Bale? Ray Milland? Stanley Baker (Zulu)Zeta Jones? Jonathon Pryce? Ian Gruffudd? Rhys Ifans? Michael Sheen (plays Blair in the Queen) etc These aren't just B listers who make a living these are the absolute elite of the elite. You don't't seem to know about trash Welsh actors they all seem to be the leads.
Bale's family are chameleon artists, circus acts, actors, entertainers, mavericks. yet like all welsh actors he has that kind of mystique, strength and sort of inner steel that's impenetrable. He IS batman, he is American Psycho, he IS the Machinist.
So what's the secret with Wales?
