I wasn't expecting to get that emotional about his story, but, fuck.

God, I know, right?

Who does Mark Strong play? And, for that matter, who is Mark Strong?

Okay, a) this is probably not what I'm supposed to be taking away from this and b) I just now bought my first compound bow, not longbow, so I am by no means an expert. But that looks to me like a seriously, seriously jacked up archery shot. Like, I hope it's bad photoshop.

Yeah, that's the take in the iO9 comments, as well. I suspect it's Photoshop, too.

That's what a few commenters said. Like it looked like she posed without a bow and it was added later.

But it's a weird thing even if so. Assuming she's the only real thing in the photo, it's still wrong for her to have her finger braced against the (fictional?) arrow. Best case it'll catch the fletchings and throw off her shot, worst case is havoc.

Some of the commenters thought the arrow was real, but if so, it's being held very very oddly, flopped over her wrist, so I think it's not. If the bow is fictional, then they positioned it in very oddly, because you'd never nock so off centered on the string like that. And then she's not sighting along the bow at all, which would make sense if it wasn't real.

But surely the actor has put some time into archery practice? Since it's such a major character point? I can't justify the photo at all.

If it's the only real thing, though, maybe that's why it's resting on her arm like that.

But, you know, people with their fingers on the trigger. I just hope it doesn't have any bearing on the quality of the drama, and I don't think it should.

[link] for who he is, which will give you the role.

You may know him from several films where his unusual looks got him cast as the bad guy. He can, when required, chew scenery with the best of them.

And, for that matter, who is Mark Strong?

Mark Strong is one of those character actors who have been around for a long time. He's not conventionally handsome, but got these strong, memorable features and a certain intensity. He plays villains, usually. He played the chief antagonist in both Sunshine (the crazy space-mad captain on the other craft) and the first Guy Ritchie Sherlock movie (Lord Blackwood, the one obsessed with Satanism with the kicky black leather coat.)

I really want to see TSSS, but it's not opened around my neck of the woods yet.
