Discussion: Nick Dunning is the Best!!!

"I agree that he did a great job as Sir Thomas. If I saw him in real life I might alomost have to hate him a little because he did such a good job. His potrayal would be all I could think about when I looked at him."

"Nick Dunning's upcoming play (No Man's Land) is set to start soon! The production opens at the (London) Duke of York’s theatre on 7 October 2008 (previews from 27 September) following a short run at the Gate Theatre, Dublin in August. You lucky people who get to go! I bet he's reallyyy hot and talented in person. ;) I just got back from London so I know I won't be going! This is the cast-Michael Gambon (Hirst), David Bradly (Spooner) , David Walliams (Foster) , Nick Dunning (Briggs). It's about two aging writers, Hirst and Spooner. After meeting on Hampstead Heath, they return home for a late-night session of witty banter, sinister power games, and the worship of alcohol, watched by Hirst’s henchman, Briggs and Foster. This haunting play is part mystery drama, part homage to the ghosts of the past and the fiction of memory.

"Nick Dunning on the Tudors, is the best Thomas Boleyn, hands down! I think he does a fabulous job creating such a dynamic character, but he's done the most historically accurate depiction of Sir Boleyn I've yet seen. Thomas Boleyn, was a sly, clever, creature of the court, a master diplomat, yes he had some terrible and morally reprehensible qualities to him (as was required of all courtiers!) but he also had some admirable ones as well. He valued his daughters' education, particularly Anne, and gave her the best education she could get at the court of Margaret of Austria and later under Queen Claude of France. I hated the depiction of Thomas Boleyn in TOBG, he was shown as spineless, weak compared to the Duke of Norfolk (he could actually hold his own to the duke), slow witted, scrawny (the real Sir Thomas jousted with Henry VIII in the tiltyard!), all around a general loser. I think it's true he held his personal ambitions as his primary concern in life, I believe he held true affection for his children and concern for their well-being, and only wanted for them to succeed in their careers as courtiers. Nick Dunning suits my impression of Thomas Boleyn perfectly!"
