This comment relates to the point made about Bill Nighy being double-listed as himself and Graham Greene in the credits for Dangerous Edge. Perhaps the director did this intentionally. Greene did have a thing about doubles.

Dangerous Edge: A Life of Graham Greene is a biographical documentary film about Graham Greene, originally broadcast nationally in the US on PBS on March 29, 2013 and distributed internationally. It was directed by Thomas Patrick O'Connor and narrated by Derek Jacobi.
- He never watches any of his films because he can't bear to see himself on screen. "The trouble is that confidence is a movable feast and I'm not famous for it," he told The Observer.
- He made the playlist for Swans Bar at Maison Assouline in London's Piccadilly, one of his favorite local spots to grab a coffee. Nighy's selections – songs by Prince, Mary J Blige, Angie Stone, and Dr. John, among others – are every bit as classy as you'd expect.
- Nighy lives right in the center of London and doesn't mind at all if fans stop him on the street. He doesn't even mind if you ask him about Love Actually.
- He knows his personal style and sticks to it. "I always want to wear a suit, and I nearly always do," he told The Independent a few years ago. "I'm a fetishist about what they used to call 'a decent lounge suit.'

So yes, a lot of people probably know this by now but it seems a bit presumptuous to think that everyone knows. After all the only thing you could really pick him out by was his voice and that one moment in At World’s End Calypso transformed him back into his human self. But he brought this character to life in a way that was absolutely great.
This was of course when he was a bit younger and probably didn’t sound quite as distinguished as he does now but to think that he played a part in such an epic tale is pretty awesome and, at this point in his career, hardly surprising.
It can’t be just because he’s English since people all over the world tend to love these performers and have managed to create their legendary status by lifting them up on pedestals. But he does have good taste in music at least.
Honestly in would seem that he and Simon Pegg have great chemistry together despite the fact that they play opposing roles in a couple of movies. In fact despite what happens later in this movie it would appear that they really can’t stand one another.
His role in this movie is pretty short but while he does act civil you can tell that his character doesn’t like the character that Simon Pegg is playing. This seems to be a constant theme between these two when they show up together and it works perfectly.
For a show like this his voice sounds a little antagonistic at times but it still manages to punctuate the very real dangers that the critters face. Eventually however the role of the narrator would be taken over by Sean Astin, which is funny since he played Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings while Bill played Sam on the radio.
Viktor really seemed like he had more potential since he was one of the elder vampires and as such was immensely powerful. After all he took down one of the older, more hardened lycans with his bare hands and snapped his neck like a toothpick. But against Selene and Michael he should have been able to put up more of a fight.
It’s interesting to learn that some actors wanted to pursue a different course in life than what they would eventually become known for. Some of them simply fell into acting while others made a compromise and became actors.
It’s kind of funny that he’s stated he became an actor because he was waiting for the longest time to become a writer. You might have to be a writer to figure that one out but the moment you do you’ll probably laugh too.
This was a very fun and underrated film to be honest since it involves time travel without the mess that so many movies insist on throwing at the audience so as to explain why time travel is so dangerous. While the butterfly effect is mentioned it’s never really seen to be that devastating since the life of one person might affect others but there’...
