I feel sorry for famous people. In Green Park Tube station today, while going down the escalator, I saw a familiar face going up. It was Clare Holman, aka Dr Laura Hobson from Lewis. The poor woman saw me staring for a good moment or two before my brain worked out who she was.
Some actors are lucky enough to have a persona or a look different from their own. Clare Holman, by contrast, looked as though she could quite plausibly be on her way to a crime scene, about to slip on a pair of plastic gloves and shove a finger or two in a cadaver.
