WEEKEND WATCH: Bob Marley: One Love Kingsley Ben-Adir plays Bob Marley & said he 'might as well have been learning to play a part in French because Jamaican Patois is deceptive. So much of the English language is in it but it’s more confusing and complicated than that.' #Jamacian

When TV show Sherlock was looking for a Moriarty everyone expected him to be English but casting director Kate Rhodes James knew Irish actor Andrew Scott. ‘He is arresting on screen. But he’s Irish. Is there a world where Moriarty could be Irish? And the team were receptive.'
