Andrew Scott Is The Best Actor In The World

Well, that's it then. We have definitive proof of who the best actor in the world is. On Saturday the National Theatre had its 50th anniversary broadcast, featuring pretty much the entirety of British acting royalty in a kind of compilation album of great performances. My favourites all had their moments: Paul Scolfield, Ian McKellen, Anna Maxwell Martin, Paterson Joseph  - but all I could think about afterwards was Andrew Scott doing about two minutes from Angels in America. During which time he tore through 50 years of acting establishment with ease and made them all look like amdrammers. So there. By winning the evening, he has won the Acting Crown for all time, and let no more be said about it.
