Because books.
I'd guess not. That scene is branded onto my eyeballs for the sheer awkwardness he suddenly sprouts and the way his hands flap uselessly and the ends of his bent arms.
Heh. Now I want to watch it again! I don't remember that at all.
He's considerably more graceful in The Tudors!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's awesome. He's channeling Kermit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hee. The fact that I still manage to find him hot is proof of something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I found this from the link interesting:
His role on Gormenghast as the self-serving cruel Steerpike, earned Jonathan’s character this fitting description: “His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. “
Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....

It's on DVD.

Ooh, I almost forgot that I live in an age where entertainment is recorded for people to play back later. Huzzah!

I'll also note that Peake's original illustrated draft is amazing.

See, I didn't make the connection at the time that Steerpike was Slade from Velvet Goldmine....
