Discussion: James Frain admirers

"What I've read is different LadyJane, I have some admiration for the man after all he did rise from very lowly beginnings, a brutish Father and no formal education, to become a Merchant and highly thought of Lawyer, he managed to penetrate the closed ranks of Norfolk's aristocratic faction, without patronage or personal following or university education and steal the position of 'chief minister' which Norfolk thought was now his. He had a strong intellect and an enquiring mind as well as a capacity for hard work.
Might I ask if you have a favourite charactor from the series and if so whom and why?"

"and 1 person i forgot thomas moore he stuck what he believe in and he died for it. he wasnt a yes man for the king like cromwell was."

"Might I ask you, what was Cromwell, Wolsey, and More too, suppose to do when they might not have agreed with the King's policy? Were they suppose to turn they're backs on the King and thus risk the King's wrath? No, they ALL were suppose to do what the King wanted, when he wanted. It didn't matter what they thought, or believed. More did eventually turn his back on the King, but at his own risk. I know you don't mean to get people rilled up with your comments, but it infuriates me to no end when you make up unreasonable excuses to dislike Cromwell. He wasn't a god, no one is saying he was,but he was a damn good man. He deserves respect from everyone for his work ethic, his mind and his sheer determination. You seem to forget that Cromwell was too, a religious man. Your reasons for disliking Cromwell are, to me, are just hatered towards him. What has Cromwell done to you? He was only a man trying to make his way in the world. Sorry that you don't respect that. I do, and so do others. "

"i have my own opinions and you have yours you know what it infuraites me when somebody thinks they are always right. i dont have to like him he was a malious man , selfish and greedy man..he thought of himself not the king or england.. LONG LIVE HENRY THE EIGHT. i will not shed a tear when he gets the ax i will celebrate"

"So James Frain. Will he do another Broadway show? I would love to go to one, if he is.

=)"

"I hope so. I'd never be able to get to it, but you could tell me about it! I wish he'd do some theatre in the UK, that would be awesome, though it would probably be in London and I'd STILL not be able to get to it. Damn living in the sticks!

I'm really intrigued by this In Plain Sight role he has coming up, though..."

"Don't know yet. He's annoyingly cryptic about it in that interview! I've never seen In Plain Sight, so I don't even know what to expect... "

"Do we know if it's for the US or Uk market"

"How many times are you going to say that? Get over it. Sorry but you should leave this thread LadyJane. The thread was suppose to be about James Frain and Thomas Cromwell. No haters."

"Yeah, I've heard the American version of The Office is really good...that's another thing I haven't seen!"
