Who's drifted through two dramas this week, lighting up both without getting out of a slow trot, and has always been a favourite of mine, not least because I discovered her.
By which I mean, in much the same way as teenagers (and Mark) like to discover bands and appropriate them as their own, I saw Gina in a Carlsberg advert many years ago and said to Anne how brilliant she was. And so it proved, with Our Friends in the North catapulting her to fame shortly after. Unlike teenagers (and Mark) I didn't immediately dump her for having become too popular/mainstream/sell-out.
As an aside, the four actors from Our Friends in the North seem to have found success in inverse proportion to their talents: Daniel Craig; Christopher Ecclestone; Gina McKee, and by far the best Mark Strong, currently relegated to the voice-over for Who Do You Think You Are.
Anyway, here's the latest star bejewelled on my rucksack - lovingly crayoned over Sally Sparrow - Aisling Loftus who gave a hypnotically slow performance in Dive the other day.
