- Daniel Craig, Road To Perdition, 2002. Hollywood never improves. The best it could offer the top new UK TV star was the a support bit as Paul Newman’s son villain. Fortunately for his career, Green was his own producer.
- Gary Oldman, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, 2003. Totally wasted by UK cinema, the great Robson Golightly Green (oh yeah!) Green lost Sirius Black when helmers changed from Hollywood’s Chris Columbus to Mexican Alfonsa Cuarón (Good news for Oldman, out of work since Sin, 2002. And so Green just continued to rule UK TV TV with Soldier, Soldier, Wire in the Blood, Northern Lights, Waterloo Road, Strike Back, Grantchester during 1991-2016.
- Ciarán Hinds, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, 2003. Not that he needed it… The UK TV star was far too busy with his various series to be Angelina Jolie’s rival, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist-gone-mad.
