The Actors
In The Actors, two struggling thespians prove the little known adage that bad actors make great crooks. Michael Caine is the down-on-his-luck thespian O'Malley, who hangs out in the roughest pub in town to research his role as Richard III and to distract from his ailing career. There he befriends Barreller (Michael Gambon) a harmless small-time crook indebted to some very dangerous people.
Convinced he can scam both Barreller and his underworld creditors using his superior thespian skills, O'Malley gets himself and actor-pal Tom (Black Books' Dylan Moran) embroiled in a hairbrained scheme that means both of them could end up breaking much more than a leg.
Directed by Conor McPherson from a story by the Oscar-winning Neil Jordan, The Actors is a hilarious caper comedy with a theatrical twist. Caine and Moran prove themselves masters of disguise, supported by great turns from Lean Headey, Miranda Richardson and Ben Miller.
