I don’t see why not, Hugh Laurie has done ok
I seem to remember that Del Boy transformed himself into D I Frost quite effectively!
March 28 ITV....Easter Monday......
It will be interesting to watch. He didn't do too badly as the vicar in the film Keeping Mum but of course that was still essentially a comedy role.

Let's hope he is not bumbling around!!
He played a straight,convincing character in Full Throttle about the Bentley Boys. I didn't associate him with Mr Bean or Black Adder then but I was probably drooling over the cars too much to notice. I believe he could pull of a convincing Maigret. I will just have to block off Rupert Davies in my mind. :-)
Yes, I shall have no problem. I only watched Mr. Bean once and gave up after 5 mins., so I see him as an actor. I think he might be rather good and Maigret is not a character to whomI have ever warmed. I'll give it an honest go.
Most comedians usually make good straight actors....its something about the timing apparently.
-- answer removed --
mikey did say "most"....
I recall that Les Dawson tried some straight acting, not long before he died and I thought he was very good. Max Wall could be a good straight actor as well.
No I dont think so.! I cannot see him as anything as serious as Maigret .!! Having just rememebering that series... just about .. he just isnt right for the part.
Bradley Walsh is brilliant in Law and Order UK I think. Rowan Atkinson is going to make me think of Johnny English rather than Mr Bean.
If you've written it off before even the first episode, it shows your lack of imagination.
I had every faith he could pull it off well. He didn't disappoint my expectations. He is doing a second seperate full length drama later in the year.
