Whether you love him, or hate him. Nicholas Lyndhurst exists. He doesn't inhabit our world, but a slightly bizarre 1980s version created by John Sullivan.
He's probably most famous for playing Rodney Trotter, the wally brother of Del-boy from Only Fools and Horses. But I didn't need to tell you that.
Most of his career he's had people laughing at him, or a recording of people laughing at him. Either way, he's a sitcom veteran.
Here is a thread, where we take one sitcom actor, preferably not doing much these days or not at the top and give them another go at being loved again.
Consider all his strengths and all his weaknesses, all the roles he's played and how he's played them. His audience, his fans and haters.
How would you "manage" Nicholas Lyndhurst's career? What would be his next role, and would he stick with the family sitcom or could he exist is a more post-watershed world?
I think he's rather hard to cast in a decent role, but especially simple to cast in an easy role. Dippy student ~ Middle-aged Dad. I'm not saying he didn't play them well, he made Rodney, a character I love. But what's his next move, and will I love it?
Will anyone get this? I don't know... 
y way to dissect the sitcom, its characters and actors.
