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.

Also, in Kick Ass. And Green Lantern. And many other things.
Yes, he was Sinestro (guess the plot of GL2) in Green Lantern. I knew he was good, I just didn't expect this...
Yeah, I mean, I guess that if the arrow itself was real, then that's why the wrist, but she still shouldn't have extended her finger.
And okay, yes, point taken on trigger fingers off guns, but I also get annoyed at that, so I am internally consistent!
I hope it won't affect the quality of the drama, but I do hope it doesn't indicate a fundamental lack of basic archery knowledge on the part of the actor. But it probably doesn't. It doesn't look like a production shot, so I'm willing to grant some leeway.
There doesn't appear to be an arrow rest, so it might be that the picture was snapped just as the arrow fell off the grip -- as a result of the horrible left hand grip and bad nocking.

To be fair, I felt that the books themselves indicated a fundamental lack of archery knowledge on the part of the writer...
Absolutely an excellent point, Suela!
Okay, dcp, I could totally buy that. That would explain the angle, for sure.

Thanks. Turns out the only thing I've seen him in is
Sherlock Holmes
where he only registered because I thought he looked so much like Andy Garcia.

For no good reason, I kept thinking he was the elder Malfoy at first.
He was fantastic and mesmerizing and hot in that Leonardo DiCaprio movie that I can't remember the name of. Where Leo's a spy and Mark is a sheik or something.
Body of Lies, that's it. He was om nom nom. And he played the bastard rich beau in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Lee Pace won the om nom nom award in that movie.
