As I say, I didn't see him - can't argue if you have.

I saw him in Fences.

Quite an excellent performance. I believe he won the Critics Circle award for that.

Quite a lot of people still associate Lenny with his tv work (understandably) - but what they don't know is that he's now become quite well-respected for his serious roles.

And this mistake (mixing him up with Ainsley Harriott), is just that - a mistake. Same as when the BBC put a picture backdrop of Jocky Wilson, instead of Jackie Wilson when Dexy's Midnight Runners appeared on Top of the Pop.
