Scene Stealer: James Cromwell
THE QUEEN (2006)
In this critically adored drama about the Royal reaction to Princess Diana's death, Cromwell portrays Prince Philip.
"I think Stephen [Frears, the director] cast me because he didn't want an English actor to make a caricature out of Philip. And I don't think he is a caricature in the film, so I was disappointed that so many people came up to me and said that he was a shit. I don't see him as a shit. I see him as a man defending his wife against an opportunist politician and a public that seems to have no understanding of protocol or appropriateness.
