- Daniel Craig, Casino Royale, 2005.
- Woody Harrelson, The Messenger, 2008. The UK star of HBO’s The Wire was in the mix for Captain Tony Stone - an Army veteran at telling Army families that one of their loved ones was killed in combat.
- Aidan Gillen, Game of Thrones, TV, 2011. One ex-Wire star for another as“Tommy Carcetti” took over from “Jimmy McNulty” as Peter "Littlefinger" Baelish in the hit HBO series stemming from the opening stanza of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R R Martin.
- Adam Rayner, Tyrant, TV, 2014- . First choice for the Middle East take of The Godfather from the Homeland writer-producer, Howard Gordon, wasn’t Mid East enough. Omar Metwally, an Egyptian-American actor, was no Sharif, either. Then, UK actor Rayner was adjudged perfect, if a tad young, for a despot’s Americanised son, Bassam Al Fayeed - now known as Barry, like a certain Barack Obama before him.
